Highlights
  • Lake Louise Summer Gondola - Little effort and 100 percent mind-blowing. From ground-level to jaw-dropping in minutes.
    Embrace the freedom of exploring our wide-open alpine area, surrounded by soaring peaks and stunning glaciers.

The Lake Louise Summer Gondola is the ultimate stop-off for all-ages sightseeing, with some of the best chances to spot wild grizzly bears. To say we’re one of Banff National Park’s best-kept summer secrets would be a cliché, but you’ll see when you arrive how this place balances sheer beauty, effortless-to-extreme adventure, and an escape from the bigger crowds you’ll come across elsewhere.

After all, summer days in the Rockies are intended to be relaxing, not harassing. The views will leave you feeling like you’ve got an all-access pass to the finest scenery Mother Nature has to offer. The impressive vistas that have earned the Canadian Rockies a reputation as one of the world’s most picturesque places, will be abundant.

Private ski lessons - Thank you, Ash, for making skiing a memorable and empowering experience for our son! In one private lesson, Ash instilled so much confidence in my 4-year-old son that he conquered the big hill and the gondola. My wife and I were shocked to see them on the backside of the mountain, where my son had the biggest smile. The next day, he had the confidence to tackle the gondola independently. Ash's expertise and encouragement created a positive atmosphere, and we couldn't be happier with our son's progress. He can't wait to go back.

A Must Do In Lake Louise Canada - The trip up the mountain was certainly value for money. Staff were very helpful and we were able to venture onto the walking trails. A must do if you are visiting Lake Louise.

Gondola trip - Although it was a drizzly day at the bottom, at the top, the rain stopped and a rain of sunshine lasted long enough to see a doe with two baby deer and a black bear! We also enjoyed visiting the interpretive center, it was very educational!

Most scenic resort! - Has to be the most scenic ski resort we have ever been to it was very busy and lines were very long but it being the holidays that’s understandable.

Noisy adventure!! - We did enjoy the ride and view, but disappointed with the noise in the area, loud music at the embarking and disembarking stations, and other riders hollering to others. Not sure how anyone would get to see animals at all.

Stay away - Stay away from this Summer activity. The ride is overpriced. Overrated, nothing more than a Tourist trap. Spend your money wisely , not worth the time and effort.

Disappointed - Very disappointing- gondola only went half way up to the top of mountain & there was nothing there! You could walk down almost a mile to the wildlife center & only restrooms but would have to walk back up hill for the gondola return. The facilities at the beginning were nice but this tour was not worth the cost & we paid to see nothing & visit a restaurant at the bottom. Was looking forward to eating at the top but restaurant was closed.
