Getting Here

Deer Lodge is a 5 minute walk from crystal blue waters of Lake Louise, which is a two hour drive from the Calgary International Airport. Directions to Deer Lodge are below.

Important Note: During the summer, getting from the Village to and from Lake Louise is impacted by high traffic volumes. When traffic volumes reach certain levels a restriction by Parks Canada will be implemented.  When this happens only emergency responders, staff, commercial deliveries or hotel guests will be allowed to access to Moraine Lake Road and Lake Louise Drive until congestion clears.  Once congestion clears the restriction will be lifted.

For guests staying with us at Deer Lodge, please have proof of your reservation with you to gain access to Upper Lake Louise during the restriction.
