This place gives you a great opportunity to relax and enjoy your life; you can try yourself in mountain camping, skiing and snowboarding there - the Village Ski Resort and Norquay offer all these pleasures to you.
Skiing was born here in the 1920s, and since those times this resort enjoys wide popularity, so it is not a surprise at all that it is full of guests all the year round. The most famous activity of the place is cross-country skiing in the region of the Lake Louise, which occurs around the lake itself, on Moraine Lake Road and in the Skoki Valley area. If you want to walk around the lake and find something new about it and the whole resort you should take guided walks run three or four times a week in July and August. You can also rent bikes from Wilson Mountain Sports in the mall, or sign up for cycling tours and survey the terrain. But for the most unforgettable memories you should rent canoes for a trip across the Bow River.
