What it costs
Most of Lake Louise’s parking is free. The resort also sells paid parking and season parking passes for the lots closest to the Lodge of the Ten Peaks, but it doesn’t post the prices on its FAQ.
How to park free
- Free resort shuttles run between Lake Louise hotels and the ski area from Nov 2, 2026 to May 2, 2027.
- Free shuttles also run daily from Banff hotels to the ski area. The schedule posted now covers Nov 1 to Dec 3, 2026.
Book or pay
Good to know
- Lake Louise Ski Resort is inside Banff National Park, so you need a Parks Canada pass to visit. A daily pass costs C$12.25 per adult or C$24.50 for a family or group of up to seven in one vehicle, and an annual Discovery Pass costs C$83.50 per adult or C$167.50 per family. Youth 17 and under get in free. These are Parks Canada’s posted 2026 fees.
- The resort doesn’t sell or print park passes, and your pass must be displayed on the dash of your vehicle.
Prices are in Canadian dollars.
