Fall Guided Tour Lake Louis and Moraine Lake - We had amazing experience with Guided tour for lake louis and Moaraine lake. Our guide Shelly and Maddy were very friendly and knowledgeable. Shelly's picture taking skills always standout.

Mountains and snow - We were unable to see the lake due to snowy weather but that was perfectly fine for us. It was beautiful with the snow and the landscape of the area. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a coffee and an apple muffin at the snack bar and it was really good. We had no problems getting our tickets and boarding the gondola.

Definitely do the Banff Gondola - The view is amazing as you go up as is the hike down. We had a load time of 9:10 but we were early. They were very flexible and let us go early. The 15 minute movie in the museum at the top of the mountain is good. Definitely an activity you should try to Fit in.

Do it! - We rode the open chair lift instead of the gondola. That made the experience move from great to outstanding! Nice walk at the top for a great view accompanied By lunch and a beverage. On the way down we watched Lake Louise gradually disappear! Do it!

Iconic Canadian view - The view from the top and the expansive vista of the mountains. Breathing in fresh mountain air. The ride in the gondola was beautiful. Peaceful.

Well worth the price of admission. - The Summer Gondola Experience is well worth the price of admission. The views of Lake Louis from up on the mountain are a sight to behold. You may see some wildlife poking around the trails and a visit to the wildlife center is a cool exhibit. Have lunch or dinner at the lodge once you get back down the mountain as well. Such a cool spot!

Top of the ski hill - Took the gondola up the ski hill. It was a misty day but we were able to see Lake Louise . The animal exhibit was great. We had a nice lunch at the restaurant. Would have done a longer hike but forgot to bring bear spray.

Beautiful Views, but disappointing - One of the main reasons we booked the gondola was to have lunch at the Whitehorn Bistro at the top. We were extremely disappointed to arrive and find out the bistro had closed for construction the day before!! And of course, it was too late to cancel at that point, We ate a sad lunch at the bottom and took the ride up. The ride provided beautiful views. It did not compare favorably to the Banff Gondola that we had taken 2 days earlier.

Lake Louise Gondola ride - The option to ride an open or closed coach was nice. The view was also nice although I think the Banff gondola has a more beautiful view.

Rainy ride - It was bad weather for us so we did not enjoy our gondola ride. We had rain and clouds. So you really didn’t see anything. The only plus was we could go at any time not the time we selected. So that way we could try to go when the rain wasn’t Heavy.
