The Lake Louise Summer Gondola offers a unique way to experience the Canadian Rockies. It combines breathtaking views, good dining, and opportunities to explore the mountain’s natural beauty. It's not just the winter that resorts operate a gondola and chairlift. During the summer, the gondola takes visitors high above the valley, offering stunning vistas of Lake Louise, the Bow Valley, and the surrounding peaks.

At the top, enjoy a meal at the Whitehorn Bistro, known for its scenic patio and delicious alpine-inspired cuisine. For those looking to stretch their legs, several hiking trails start from the upper station, ranging from easy strolls to more challenging routes. The area is also renowned for its wildlife, and visitors often have the chance to spot grizzly bears roaming the mountain slopes below—a thrilling and memorable highlight of the experience. We've been twice, and both times, we spotted grizzly bears. They are a common sight, but it's wildlife, so there are no guarantees!
