So, an early start to get the bus to Lake Louise after a light dusting of overnight snow. The Fairmont and Lake Louise for so long a dream, and the reality has proven so much better. The iconic Fairmont resort on the lake - an absolute picture in both Summer and Winter. We're biased because we're here in Winter, but being a naturally alpine climate it seems to suit it best, I'll let the pictures do the talking! On the bus we missed a lot of what is promoted as one of the best drives "in the world". Dark and the windows with the condensation freezing constantly on the inside!
Not great images, but the best under the circumstances!
Arrived at the Fairmont Lake Louise 3 hours later.
The main hotel
Our wing
Another welcome upgrade to a suite with amazing lake and valley views.
A warning everyone seems to conviently ignore.
An ice sculpture contest was in full swing.
N'ice
Even an ice bar!
To end the day a sleigh ride round the lake edge.
A frozen waterfall on our sleigh ride.
Very "Cool"
Off to Banff tomorrow, should be good if reports prove true.
In terms of scenery, these have to be my fave shots so far! So much amazing looking stuff! So cool in every sense of the word.
