Lake Louise Gondola
There’s something magical about the Rockies; it’s hard to peel your eyes away from the mountain range. Local and international travellers alike can’t help but be awestruck by the soaring, snow-capped mountain peaks. However, the exquisite beauty of Lake Louise is all at ground level, and the best way to admire the view is to ride the Lake Louise Gondola up Mount Whitehorn.
During the 14-minute ride up Mount Whitehorn, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of alpine meadows filled with wildflowers, dazzling emerald lakes, and wild black bears and grizzlies wandering the mountainside. Visitors can choose to sit in one of the open chairs or fully enclosed gondolas for the ride up the mountain. Once you reach the mountaintop at 2088m (6850ft), your adventure continues a short walk away into the Wildlife Interpretive Centre.
Discover Grizzly Bear Tour
The Lake Louise Gondola is one of the best places on earth to witness grizzly bears in the wild, foraging for berries in their protected natural habitats. Bear sightings are a nearly daily occurrence—this is your best opportunity to catch a glimpse of wild bears from the safety of the gondola.
If you want to learn more about grizzlies and their fascinating lifestyles, check out Banff Adventures’ Discover Grizzly Bear Tour! You’ll have the unique opportunity to watch Boo the grizzly explore, hunt and forage through his 20-acre habitat. This tour offers a guaranteed grizzly bear sighting, as Boo is generally out exploring or playing in his refuge. However, on the rare occasion that he is hiding and you cannot see him, you can retake the tour for free to see Boo.
