Canmore/Banff/Lake Louise

Posted by (USA) on

I have a 4:00 shuttle reservation for the Lake Louise/Moraine Lake shuttle. I would have liked an earlier time but nothing was available. The shuttle leaves from the Lake Louise ski resort: the reservation details also state departure is from the Park and Ride lot.

We are staying in Canmore and have a car but realize that using the shuttles is best. Is there a shuttle that will take us from Canmore to the Park and Ride lot?

How much time should we allow for getting from Canmore to the LL/ML shuttle departure site?

Thanks!

I don't know of any shuttle that takes you from Canmore to the departure site. It is about an hour drive from Canmore to the lake louise ski resort. Usually you would have to stop and pick up a Park pass, however there is free entry this summer, so you may not have to stop. I'd personally give myself a bit of extra time before that shuttle though and give it an hour and 1/2 to get there. It is a pretty drive.

I don't know what your criteria is for the idea that the shuttle would be better. I would ALWAYS drive myself in Banff; there are so many interesting stops and side trips, and I would hate to be tied to a timetable. Use your own car.

Thanks for the replies and helpful information.

I do plan on plenty of driving in the area but will use shuttles locally as much as possible instead of contributing to the clogging of roads and challenges with finding parking at popular spots.
