Do something different with your day. Here are 4 quick reasons why summer sightseeing at Lake Louise is worth a visit.
- A View with a Difference – Sure you can see the famous Lake Louise from the shoreline, but what about from across a valley? Nestled between some of the most striking mountains is the vivid green-blue hue of Lake Louise. A gem in the Canadian Rockies crown, viewing the glinting lake from the Lake Louise Ski Resort is incredible and awesome.
- Grizzly Bear Viewing – Who doesn’t like grizzlies? You can view these incredible animals from an open chair (or a closed gondola if you prefer) as you soar overhead. See the Grizzly in its natural habitat as it grazes on grass and chases ground squirrels around the resort.
Lake Louise Ski Resort summer Grizzly viewing - On-Mountain Dining – Fuel up before you head up the mountain. Breakfast and lunch buffets are served daily in the Lodge of the ten Peaks, plus a BBQ is available throughout August and September. NEW for 2014 are the food and beverage offerings at the newly renovated Whitehorn Lodge. Located at 6,700ft (2,042m), you can enjoy a coffee or a fully catered lunch with one of the most spectacular views across the valley towards Lake Louise.
- Interpretation Centre and Hiking – Once at the top of Lake Louise, there are a variety of activities. You can enjoy the spectacular scenery from the viewing platform and visit the wildlife interpretation centre at Whitehorn Lodge. From there you can take a guided 45min easy walk with Lake Louise staff through the high alpine that showcases the nature of the great Grizzly bear.
