Calgary - Lake Louise
If you're looking for a vacation getaway in North America with
some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world, a place
where you can see unspoiled wilderness and wildlife during the
day, hike, bike, or fish, and then be pampered with a massage,
facial, or body treatment, and enjoy a "high tea" in the
afternoon, then consider traveling to the Chateau Lake Louise
in the Canadian Rockie Mountains.
A two hour drive from Calgary, situated on the bank of Lake
Louise a vacation at the Chateau Lake Louise will have you
thinking that you're actually vacationing in a Swiss Chalet.
Personalized service is the key here, any wish will be granted.
The Chateau offers a spa and health club, with an indoor pool.
There are at least six dining room serving hamburgers to
Alberta beef tenderloin with black truffle potato gratin, and
everything in between.
Travel here any time of the year. During Spring, Summer, Fall
or Winter, Lake Louise has something to offer everyone.
Canoeing, hiking, mountain biking, fly-fishing, and horseback
riding are just some of the outdoor activities offered in
Spring. For winter travel there is downhill skiing, heli skiing
and plenty of cross country skiing. Lake Louise is one of
Canada's largest ski areas with a 3,250 ft. vertical drop. A 40
minute ride will have you to the Sunshine Ski Area which boasts
the longest ski season in Canada. Shuttles run between the
Chateau and the ski area.
If you're the adventurous type you might want to travel through
the Banff National Park area. The Bow Valley Parkway is a scenic
route that parallels Highway 1 between Banff and Lake Louise. On
this lovely and winding drive you could easily see a lot of
different wildlife, wolves, elk, mountain goat and moose. Banff
is also the home of The Cave and Basin National Historic Site
where the first hot springs were discovered. Also not to be
missed is the Sulphur Mountain Gondola which will give you an
eagle's eye view of Banff atop of Sulphur Mountain - don't
forget your camera!
