Ice Magic

For more than two decades, visitors have been captivated by Ice Magic's remarkable ice sculptures. As part of SnowDays, this iconic Lake Louise experience continues to showcase the creativity, craftsmanship, and beauty of winter in the Canadian Rockies.

Set in the stunning grounds of Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, Ice Magic transforms ice into extraordinary works of art. Wander through a breathtaking collection of sculptures and discover the imagination and skill behind each frozen masterpiece.

Looking to see ice carving in action? Visit the Art of Ice: Carving Competition in downtown Banff, where talented carving teams transform blocks of ice into incredible creations during live competitions as part of the SnowDays Festival.

Ice Magic is an exclusive experience for guests of participating Lake Louise hotels and local community members from Mînî Thnî to Field.
