By: Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

If you are ever caught in a rain shower in Lake Louise here are our top 5 ideas for making the most of your day.

1. Pamper Yourself With a Spa Treatment

Nothing can recharge your batteries like a trip to the spa. Enjoy a Soothing Lavender Dreams massage, including full-body exfoliation using Turkish salts infused with Lavender. The perfect way to restore the body and soothe the mind whilst the rain falls down outside.

2. Play a Board Game in the Living Room

Cozy up next to the fire in The Living Room, an exclusive guest-only area, located just above the lobby. Flex your vocabulary with a friendly game of scrabble, bring out your inner mogul with a family game of monopoly, checkmate your mates with a strategic game of chess or snuggle up in a chair and escape to another world with your favourite book.

3. Self-guided Scavenger Hunt Around the Chateau

Explore the nooks and crannies of the hotel as you learn about the history of Lake Louise. Pick up your Kids Camp Adventure Passport from the concierge desk and follow the video clues to solve the puzzle to help the wonderful Mrs. Engelhard as she tries to save her friend Charles Fay. The Kids Camp Adventure Passport is fun for the whole family and will leave you with memories and a souvenir that will last forever.

4. Take a Spot of Tea

What better way to spend a rainy day than with a delightful afternoon tea, looking out over the Victoria Glacier, watch as the rain falls in the valley and the snow falls up top. With our signature Lot 35 teas accompanied by delectable pastries and traditional finger sandwiches you wont be mad about staying in.
