Exclusive Skoki Backcountry Guided Hiking in Lake Louise with Van Shuttle
Overview
Everything you want in a Canadian Rockies hiking experience, without the crowds. Hidden behind the Lake Louise Ski Resort, the Skoki Backcountry is normally only accessible by first hiking a 9km return fire road. Skip the fire road with our exclusive van shuttle to the edge of the ski area boundary, to start our hike in the pristine wilderness of the Skoki backcountry.
Hike with us as we 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 Canadian Rockies
We’ll provide transportation, a professional driver and interpretive guide with commentary and local stories as they whisk you away to your hiking adventure. We’ll bring everything you need, including lunch.
