Lake Louise Holidays

The moment you catch sight of the turquoise water of Lake Louise, you’ll understand what all the fuss is about. It’s a captivating sight; an oasis cradled in the embrace of the surrounding mountains, their snow-capped peaks adding even more grandeur to the vibrant water. It’s a haven of adventure just waiting to be discovered on a Lake Louise Holiday.

A crater lake set in the heart of Banff National Park, Lake Louise sits serenely, with the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise hotel standing proudly on its north-eastern bank and the impressive Victoria Glacier, whose water feeds the lake, on its south-western side. There’s no better way to explore than by paddling across the calm waters, pausing to let yourself feel small next to the mightiness of the mountains surrounding you. But that’s just the start; you’ll want to experience every angle of the beautiful lake you can, so climb aboard the Lake Louise Gondola, looking out for grizzly bears as you journey upwards into the heart of the Rocky Mountains. With Lake Agnes Tea House as your destination, hike the Lake Agnes Trail, passing the enchanting Mirror Lake as you go.

Discover a Winter Wonderland at Lake Louise

As winter draws in, Lake Louise transforms into a white covered wonderland. Gone are the canoes; the lake freezes solid, calling visitors to don a pair of skates and take to the lake in a very different manner. Just east of Lake Louise village sits the Lake Louise Ski Resort, four mountain’s worth of powder-white slopes, with something to thrill everyone, from beginners to the pros.

One of the “SkiBig3”, a winter holiday to Lake Louise is perfectly paired with a visit to the slopes of Sunshine Village and Mt. Norquay ski resorts. Or why not explore the rest of Banff National Park, then head west and explore the beautiful province of British Columbia?
