Description:

Winter is the longest season along the peaks of the Great Divide. With an average annual snow fall of 4m or 13ft, the Lake Louise area is transformed into a snow lovers paradise. You can choose from a leisurely skate on the lake, sleigh rides or the excitement of dog sledding. Join our guides for cross-country skiing, canyon hikes or snowshoe walks and learn about the magnificent wildlife and how they survive the harsh conditions of the season.
The winter program runs from December 1st to March 31. Exact activity and destination may vary due to weather, trail or wildlife conditions.
Snowshoeing Along the Great Divide
Winter is king along the peaks of the Great Divide. With an average annual snowfall of around 4 m / 12 ft this area is superb to try this ancient and efficient mode of travel. If you can walk, you can snowshoe! After gearing up and having a brief introduction on the basics, we will venture into the forest and look for signs of creatures that have adapted to the harsh winter conditions. Learn how to read the tracks of different animals and discover how they have adapted to survive the harsh conditions.
