Only a 45 minute drive from Banff, Lake Louise is bursting with fun activities for every adventure level. From snowshoeing, cross country skiing, downhill skiing to  skating Lake Louise is a perfect winter getaway. Deer Lodge, BML’s sister lodge, is minutes from the shores of Lake Louise and a cozy place to stay the night or grab a hot drink to warm up.

See you on the hill! – BML team
