Lake Louise Summer Sightseeing Gondola

Around here, it’s rare to look anywhere but up at the peaks of the Rockies, but not at the Lake Louise Ski Resort and Summer Gondola. During the ride up Mount Whitehorn in a gondola or chairlift, there’s plenty of reasons to look down. Below you, you can see alpine meadows, fields of wildflowers and foraging grizzly and black bears in their protected habitat.

Several hikes lead up and along the ridgetop from the viewing platform at the top of the gondola. Make sure to capture a photo of the stunning view before you take off. Rugged peaks feel close enough to touch, and the emerald waters of Lake Louise shine brightly across the valley.
