Skiing with spectacular views

Located in the Rocky Mountains which are the most easterly mountain range, Lake Louise is a fantastic warm-up option as it is only 2 hours from Calgary, has a long (and reliable) six-month season, and is one of the largest ski resorts in the region.  Beginners and expert skiers alike can enjoy the large selection of perfectly groomed pistes as well as some more adventurous chutes, glades and gullies. Known for its beauty, you can expect spectacular mountain panoramas in a largely unspoiled wilderness. Lake Louise is most convenient for the following CMH areas: Bobbie BurnsBugaboos, CMH PurcellValemount.

Quiet Hamlet in the Rockies

This tiny hamlet has everything you need from a bakery, supermarket, a handful of restaurants and a few different hotels to stay in. As it is in the heart of the Rockies, you are surrounded by mountains and nature, and everywhere you look, there is an incredible view. There is not much going on here, so if you’re looking for somewhere to relax and enjoy the view, then it’s the perfect place to stay, however, if you want somewhere with a bit more atmosphere, we would recommend staying in Banff.
