Lake Louise, Canada: The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise; restaurant review

Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise  

111 Lake Louise Dr., Lake Louise, (866) 540-4413.  Sleigh rides mid-December through early April. 

Situated within Banff National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the exquisitely positioned grand hotel on scenic Lake Louise--The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise--provides guests with pleasures galore.  Perhaps my favorite is Afternoon Tea in the Lakeview Lounge, with pastries, finger sandwiches, and a view of the lake and Victoria Glacier.  In winter, guests are picked up at the hotel for a draft horse-drawn sleigh ride along a lakeside trail featuring spectacular mountain scenery.  The one-hour excursions are available in both day and evening.  Note that you do not need to be an overnight guest to enjoy these special facilities.

  1. We were at Lake Louise many years ago during the summer; it's breathtakingly beautiful! The Fairmont was well outside our budget at the time, though. I'd love to try that high tea. And the sleigh ride sounds lovely too.
