How to get to Lake Louise Ski Resort: by car, by air and parking

Lake Louise Ski Resort sits in Alberta, Canada, at 1646–2637 m. Getting there mostly comes down to altitude and whether you're driving or flying in — here's the practical part.

Getting to Lake Louise Ski Resort by car

With 1646–2637 m of elevation, the access road often requires winter or M+S-rated tyres, and snow chains can be mandatory on heavy snow days. Check road conditions before you drive up and build in extra time for the last few kilometres of mountain road.

Getting to Lake Louise Ski Resort by air

Look for flights into the international airport closest to Alberta, Canada, then a transfer or rental car to the resort.

Parking in Lake Louise Ski Resort

Most resorts have paid parking right by the lifts and free options a bit further out with a shuttle. Arriving early on busy days (weekends, holiday weeks) is the difference between parking right at the slopes or walking quite a bit further.
