 Spending the day at Lake Louise Ski Resort?

The Lodge is the perfect place to rest your head after a long day hitting the slopes.

Adventuring is better when you can see your breath.

Whether you’re skiing, snowshoeing, skating, or just relaxing, spending time in natural winter settings is scientifically proven to make us feel more alive. The backcountry ski opportunities are particularly exceptional around Bow Lake, and whether you’re a pro who tackles the slopes by yourself or if you prefer a professionally guided tour, we’re ready to make your day unforgettable.

Just a 25-minute drive from Lake Louise, the two big fireplaces at The Lodge are the perfect comforting destination after a long day of invigorating winter adventuring. (We’ve also been known to recommend a well-earned Pisco Sour or glass of wine.)

Book your winter stay at The Lodge here, and be sure to let us know if you’d prefer guided or unguided winter ski tours.

Backcountry winter activity warning

Backcountry winter touring is thrilling and adventurous; however, as exciting as it may seem, any winter activity in the backcountry also poses significant risks and challenges that could be life-threatening. These terrains are often unpredictable, unpaved, and remote, presenting hazards such as avalanches, strong winds, hidden rocks, treacherous terrains, and extreme weather conditions. It is, therefore, imperative to exercise caution and take all safety measures seriously while planning any backcountry winter activities.

It's advisable to go with an experienced backcountry guide or travel in a group. Often, solo participants face the highest risk of danger as it is harder to get help in case of an emergency. Touring the backcountry with a partner or a group helps to reduce the chances of accidents, making the tour more enjoyable and less risky.

As you prepare to embark on an exciting backcountry ski tour, it is of utmost importance that you read and agree to the risks and hazards associated with this activity. Please read The Lodge’s Winter Waiver carefully and sign it before proceeding with the tour.
