Experienced rafting guides will pick you up at the hotel doors, provide you with all the proper gear, guide you through the thrill of a lifetime, and deliver you back to the hotel.

Winter Activities

Cross-Country and Downhill Skiing
One of Canada's largest and most magnificent ski areas is just 5 minutes from the Hotel. Set against the backdrop of the spectacular snow-capped Rocky Mountains, the Lake Louise Ski area offers 4000 acres of unsurpassed ski terrain. With 4 different mountain faces to choose from, a variety of open bowls and tree-lined runs and a perfect mix of terrain (25% novice, 45% intermediate, 30% expert) skiers of all ability levels will find Louise unforgettable.

Although most winter visitors to Lake Louise are attracted by the world class downhill skiing, the area also offers an abundance of cross-country skiing. With winter's snowfall, the picturesque hiking trails of Lake Louise, which draw thousand of tourists to the area each summer, are transformed into some of the most spectacular cross-country trails in the Canadian Rockies. Of course, there is never a shortage of snow!

Convenient and free of charge, the Lake Louise ski hill shuttle bus operates seven days a week during ski season, running guests from the hotel's front doors to the base of the ski lifts.

Helicopter Skiing
An ultimate ski experience! As helicopter skiing is not permitted in Banff National Park, there are several options available and the closest is an hour and fifteen minutes away.

Dogsledding
Professional dogsledders operate within a few minutes drive of the Post, and offer a variety of trips. Short trips are about 35 minutes, and are designed to give you a taste of dogsledding; a half-day trip takes about 4 hours and, in some cases, participants have the option of "mushing" their own dog team.

Sleigh Rides
Just 10 minutes from the hotel.

Skating
Enjoy the Post's outdoor skating rink. Located just outside the front lobby.
