Lake Louise - Après-ski

Lake Louise is not the place to go for wild partying, but there are a few après-ski options. The Kokanee Kabin at the mountain base is a lively spot in spring at the end of the day, with cold beer or hot drinks, barbecue and live music. Otherwise, your best bet is to head to one of the hotel bars for a quiet drink.

An alternative for après-ski in Lake Louise on Tuesday and Friday nights is the Lake Louise by Moonlight snowshoe tour - if you're lucky, you might spot the Northern Lights on a clear evening.

For an après-ski activity with an Albertan twist, Brewster Lake Louise Stables (tel: (403) 762 5454; www.brewsteradventures.com) will pick you up in a horse-drawn sleigh and whisk you to a cowboy barbecue, complete with live country and western music and line dancing (departs from the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise: tel: (403) 522 3511; www.fairmont.com/lakelouise).

Eating out: 

Most dining beyond the slopes is in hotels, with about 20 places from which to choose. The Mount Fairview Dining Room, Deer Lodge, Lake Louise Drive (tel: (403) 522 3991; www.crmr.com/deer) serves up such treats as grilled elk sirloin with roasted fingerling potatoes and a raspberry black peppercorn glaze. Timberwolf Pizza and Pasta Café, Lake Louise Inn, 210 Village Road (tel: (403) 522 3791; www.lakelouiseinn.com), is a good choice for families. For a break from hotel cuisine, try the Friday-night torchlight dinner at Whitehorn Lodge on the mountain.
