What To Expect
Lake Louise
At Lake Louise, travelers are treated to one of Canada’s most iconic and picturesque landscapes. Nestled in Banff National Park, the turquoise lake is surrounded by towering mountain peaks and the majestic Victoria Glacier. Visitors can stroll along the lakeshore trail, rent a canoe for a serene paddle on the crystal-clear waters, or simply relax and take in the breathtaking views. In summer, nearby hikes like the Lake Agnes Tea House trail offer unforgettable panoramas. In winter, the frozen lake becomes a skating rink with snow-covered peaks as a backdrop. The historic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise adds charm and offers dining with a view. Whether for adventure or tranquility, Lake Louise is a must-see gem of the Canadian Rockies.
