Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise
While only 2 hours away from Calgary via the Trans Canada Highway, the soaring mountains, roaring rivers, and abundant wildlife surrounding the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise will make you feel like you've arrived a world away in uncharted territory.
Fittingly, the Chateau Lake Louise offers you the unique opportunity to relive the experiences of the area's early adventurers year-round with its award winning Guided Mountain Heritage Program. From casual walks around the Lake, to hiking and mountaineering the tallest peaks and deepest canyons, the Heritage Interprative Guides will lead you on exhilirating and informative excursions. Or if you're feeling adventurous, you might want to explore this natural wonderland on your own.
This is the ideal destination for both the seasoned outdoorsman or the urbanite looking to get away from city life for a little while. In the winter months, Chateau Lake Louise truly gives life to the phrase 'winter wonderland,' offering both downhill and cross-country skiing (and even heli-skiing), snowshoeing, dog sledding, ice skating, and horse drawn sleigh rides. But the fun doesn't end when the snow melts; for the rest of the year Chateau Lake Louise is great for hiking, canoeing, horseback riding, fishing, mountain biking, and river rafting.
After all of this exerting outdoor activity, the accomodations offer an inviting place to relax and unwind. The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise rooms strive to live up to the natural wonder of the area with which the hotel shares its name. Featuring vistas of the lake and the wilderness on the outside, the rooms feature quaintly carved wooden furniture and all of the modern amenities that one would expect at a Fairmont Hotel on the inside. This hotel's signature suite is the Royal Suite, which is finished in damask, rich gilt, cool marble, and deligate filigree, and provides you with a spacious outdoor balcony with an unparalelled view of Lake Louise. The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise offers a broad range of dining options, from a gourmet sandwich at the 24-hour Chateau Deli to a fine dining experience at the four diamond Fairview Dining Room.
Additional attractions include the famous Continental Divide, the point that seperates all rivers and determines whether they will flow towards the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean. There's Johnston Canyon, where you can take in the waterfalls in the summer or walk across the ice in the winter, gondola rides on Lake Louise, a tea house located on the plane of six glaciers, and of course all sorts of wildlife watching.
