Highly recommend to park and ride here for the shuttle to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. Plenty of parking spots, and process is smooth. Best to pre-book the tickets cause it is extremely popular. Make sure to keep to booking time and last bus timing or you may be left stranded.
Park and Ride – Lake Lousie and Moraine Lake Bus Shuttle We started our day at the Lake Louise Gondola parking area to catch the shuttle to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake — such a smooth experience! There’s tons of parking, and everything is well-organized. The staff were friendly and guided everyone clearly, so there was no confusion at all. It’s definitely the easiest way to visit both lakes without worrying about parking up there. Tip: book your shuttle online at least two days in advance since spots fill up fast, price is reasonable. There are kiosks outside where you can scan your online barcode and get your bus tickets before boarding. The whole process felt quick and efficient, and we really enjoyed how simple it made the visit. A great system that takes the stress out of exploring these beautiful spots! Plan to spend a couple of hours to take in the beauty at both locations. On our way back from Moraine Lake our bus driver was like a tour guide, providing us with nuggets of information about the various attractions we were passing.
Book in months advance or book it 2 days prior visit as they open 60% ticket before 2 days at 8 am . This is for park Canada shuttle which is way cheaper . We booked for 7:00 am to moraine and then Louise so got shuttle from park and ride . There is plenty of parking don’t worry about that . Connecting bus you will get on both the lake throughout the day . Or book private shuttle if you miss , just it’s expensive but can be worth it .
Park and ride to go to moraine lake and lake louise lake from here at the lake louise gondola site. Best to book your shuttle 2 days in advance as it fills up quickly. Purchase your ticket to go to one lake and take a free connector shuttle to the other lake. Return shuttle is included in the price. Kiosks to get your online barcode scanned to get your bus tickets are outside. Its amazing the number of vehicles and rvs parked here compared to what it was a few years ago, i guess this is the best way to go visit the lakes now. It was busy and we had a great time.
It’s a place where you get buses to go to Lake Moraine and Lake Louise. Park your car here and take bus to visit these lakes. You can get park Canada’s shuttles and privately owned buses. You can also enjoy lake Louise gondola service and enjoy skiing during winter. Enjoy free parking here . There is plenty of parking.
