Nestled inside Alberta's picturesque Banff National Park, Lake Louise is a superbly scenic hamlet home to the much-photographed glacier-fed lake that the area is best known for.
Often hailed as the jewel in the Canadian Rockies' crown, the lake has long been a focus of day trips to the area, offering a feeling of serenity and epic scenery, with forested peaks and the impressive Victoria Glacier as a backdrop. Join our Canadian Rockies cruise to enjoy the vistas from the water, or try your hand at canoeing or kayaking. In the winter, the frozen lake becomes an ice skating rink, beloved by locals and visitors alike.
For lovers of snow sports, Lake Louise ski holidays are some of the best in Canada, with several resorts across the area, including Lake Louise Ski Resort and Banff Sunshine Village. With its close proximity to some of North America's other top natural sights, a Lake Louise day tour can be combined with trips to destinations like Lake Minnewanka and the Columbia Icefield. Across the border in British Columbia, but a mere 20 miles from Lake Louise, Yoho National Park delights visitors with sights such as Takakkaw Falls and Emerald Lake.
