Hiking all the way up here was definitely worth it. What made it better was that we had 11 people with us. The hike took us a solid 2 hours with small kids as well, but the food up here was definitely worth it. We ordered a couple chili's, nachos and chips, moose cakes, tea, and bread, and they were all very delicious. The experience was something you don't usually get at a height like this, with an amazing view as well. The staff were very kind as well. Just make sure to get up here before 5pm as the teahouse closes.
One of my favorite hikes to do around Lake Louise! Can't recommend it enough. If you make it to the tea house, I recommend you carry on to the Abbot Pass viewpoint for better views, which adds another 1.5 km one way, which means out & back trail is 14 kilometers long (estimate about 5 hrs in total). Also, be sure to carry some bear spray and/or bells if you plan to hike the trail early morning or late afternoon.
This place is amazing. Went there for the first time. It feels like well earned tea after about five kms hike. Staff is really nice. Most things are made in house. Food is delicious. Little pricey but worth it for the taste and location. It's better to carry some cash as there may be extra charge on card payments.
Really cute stop before the trek to Plain of Six Glaciers. I got the hummus sandwich which was really good. We asked the workers there how they got there, and they told us they stay there for four days, then hike down. A helicopter flies in food and the workers hike up the fresh food. Most people just visited the tea house then went back down, they didn’t go to the top. The tea house was pretty busy. They have outhouses there that are kind of gross but make sure you go in the outhouse and not the trail as it is better for the environment. Overall really cool place and nice refresher before hiking to the top.
Awesome pit stop near the end of the plain of six glaciers hike. It's a beautiful log cabin nestled in the forest. Grab a hot tea or coffee and some food to relax after the push to the top (or before to recharge). The place is cash only so bring a little bit. And of course grab some mountain spring water from the nearby stream and hit the washroom before hiking up or down.
This teahouse is around 6 km from lake Louise and the hike is really rough and steep. So, be prepared and bring water and an umbrella. We were super hungry by the time we reached the teahouse and it was raining. There are only a few tables in the shade. We ordered hot chocolate, home made bread, soup of the day and hot meal of the day (Mac & Cheese). The service was quick and prices were affordable. Most items were good especially the soup but the Mac & cheese was just edible. So the city people, do not compare your Mac and cheese with this 😉
The views from the area around the tea house are literally the best in the world. It is the most stunning scenery I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot.
The hike itself is fine for anyone of moderate fitness levels. We did it in 4 hours roundtrip, not included the hour we spent taking in the views along the way.
I cannot recommend this hike enough. It will be one of the highlights of your life!
Yep you earn your meal here. Note that its at the top of a mountain...so in no bad way understand that it will be a bit more expensive than usual.
However everything is basically in house made and is exactly what you want after climbing a mountain.
The hummus is excellent and the apple loaf was my fave. I also super appreciate the reasonableness of the souvenir costs.
