One of the largest ski resorts in America and set in the middle of the Banff National Park, Lake Louise is rightly called the "Jewel of the Rockies". With an absolutely huge ski area of more than 4,200 acres, there are 139 named pistes (as well as numerous unnamed off-piste for advanced skiers). Skiers of every level book flights to Lake Louise, as its runs are excellent for all. Beginners needn't get stuck on the same nursery slopes every day – every single chair lift in the area has a green run available from the top. Intermediate and advanced skiers have the choice of excellent pisted runs and some of the best off-piste around, through gullies, glades and bowls. The lift system is superb, and the large area means that queues are minimal. The snow record is good and the powder skiing is especially impressive.
But it’s not just winter sports enthusiasts who step off Lake Louise flights. The stunning scenery of lakes and forests among the mountains mean it is popular with visitors at all times of year.
