Each year the team creates an intricate Ice Castle from huge blocks of ice to highlight the world’s most spectacular skating rink. The massive Victoria Glacier and snow-frosted Rocky Mountains provide a backdrop worthy of Broadway for skating on Lake Louise. An additional rink is available for hockey enthusiasts. Skating is available from mid-December to mid-April, depending on weather conditions. The rink itself is open all day and complimentary to use.
