Mt Temple Scramble

Standing at 3,544 metres, Mount Temple is the highest peak in the Lake Louise area and a classic objective for experienced hikers and scramblers. This private guided scramble begins with a stunning approach through Larch Valley, where golden larches glow in the fall and alpine wildflowers brighten the trail in summer. As you ascend, Sentinel Pass and the surrounding peaks provide breathtaking views of Moraine Lake and the Valley of the Ten Peaks. The upper route includes open scree slopes, rock benches, and hands-on sections, adding both variety and excitement to the day.
