The Plain of Six Glaciers Tea House is a classic Banff hiking destination and one of the few backcountry tea houses still operating in the Rockies. The teahouse is a rustic log cabin built in 1927, where hikers can enjoy tea, homemade lunches, and baked goods surrounded by towering icefalls and creaking glaciers. The tea house accepts cash only (Canadian Dollars) and can get busy in summer, so arrive early, pack layers for alpine weather, and savor one of the most scenic cups of tea in the world.

Hiking

The climb from Lake Louise is worthwhile, you are earned with a coffee, which of course had to be brought up on horseback. On the way up there are also the remains. In winter you have to walk really carefully, quite a few people had spikes on their feet. We saw a lot of falls that luckily went off lightly.
