“After 4 years of trying to win a lottery spot on the Lake O'Hara bus with no success I was able to nab two tickets with Schnerp!”

Kate

“Was so excited to receive a notification and snag a ticket to the hard to get lake ohara shuttle! Thank you so much!”

Tanis

“I heard about Schnerp on the morning news a couple of months ago. I gave it a try for the Lake O’Hara bus because it’s such a tough reservation to get. Got an email there was a space available and hopped on it. I had the best time up there. Thanks Schnerp!!”

Penny B

“This really works. I got 2 tickets for Lake O'Hara bus! Thank you Schnerp.”

Arthur Volpato

“I’ve been using the service for years and it’s a lifesaver for finding bookings for hard-to-find camping reservations in the provincial and national parks.”

Michael Kwadrans

“This was amazing. Not sure why everyone doesn't use this.... and I kinda (selfishly) hope they don't find out about it too quickly.”

The bus is the only way into the Lake O'Hara alpine area without the 11km hike, and seats are separate from camping permits. They sell out within minutes of opening, but people cancel throughout the season. Schnerp watches for those openings so you don't have to.
