Impossible to get to this lake. We tried 3 times and gave up. Road into lake is closed even if you get there early. They tell you to park and shuttle in but the shuttle lot is far away and very crowded with long lines. There are plenty of other lakes to see that won't disappoint especially on the Icefields Highway. Peyto Lake is one of them.
Great food at the old lodge at the top of the Gondola. Amazing back country area and lakes at the top of the ski lift!!!! Remember it is about 8,000 feet elevation. Take your inhaler if you have asthma!
The mountain meadow trails are amazing. 360 degree views are breathtaking.
If you plan to take a class make sure to call ahead and find out what time the class is. Plan to get there on a shuttle so that you have at least an hour and a half before to get your gear, pay for your class and ride the gondola up the mountain. The gondola ride is 20 minutes once you are on it.
Take ski lessons if you've never skied before and are nervous. Strawberry express has the easiest trail of all.
Check prices as it was much more expensive than we imagined
