• Lake Louise in front of the Chateau Lake Louise.
• When conditions permit, an oval is cleared for skating on the Bow River. Note that this is not a maintained rink, and that river flow may impact the ice's thickness from day to day.

Natural ice skating areas are not maintained or patrolled. Skate at your own risk. Visit the Parks Canada website for info on skating on ponds, lakes and rivers.
