The beauty and natural splendor of the surroundings enjoyed thus far are merely an indicator of what’s to follow. An hour west of Banff, Lake Louise could be a holiday in itself, providing one of the most breathtaking settings in the world.  Here Louise’s clear waters reflect the deep green forestry that border its shores, whilst snow-capped peaks dominate the background.  

Discover the lake itself and the ornate château-esque hotel or enjoy the numerous hiking trails and narrated promenade walks along the lake as you are taught about the history, wildlife and nature of Lake Louise. To make sure you get the best from your visit, take a trip on the Lake Louise Sightseeing Gondola and marvel at the glaciers, plant life and - if you’re fortunate - the local wildlife, where grizzly bears are known to roam!

Moraine Lake, which sits in the Valley of the Ten Peaks nearby, provides even more spectacular beauty, as further jagged peaks of the Rockies appear in the mirror-like reflection of the placid waters.
