What To Expect
Experience everything you want in a Canadian Rockies guided hiking experience, without the crowds.Hidden behind the Lake Louise Ski Resort, the Skoki Valley Backcountry area is normally only accessible by first hiking the 9km return fire road. Through an exclusive arrangement with Lake Louise Ski Resort, you'll be able to visit this pristine area via vehicle transport to the edge of the ski area boundary, to start your hike in the pristine wilderness of the Skoki backcountry. This rarely visited area is treasured by locals and made famous as the honeymoon location for Prince William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2011. Travel through pristine forests, along clear mountain creeks and fields of mountain wildflowers to reach turquoise high alpine lakes nestled among the towering glacier-clad peaks of the central Canadian Rockies - all without the crowds.
