Lake Louise

Nestled deep within Banff National Park, Lake Louise is enveloped by some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world. The sheer beauty of the glistening glaciers, remote ice fields, snowcapped peaks and crystal-clear lakes create a dramatic setting of unparalleled mystique. Renowned as one of the largest mountain ski areas in North America and one of the best alpine skiing regions in the world, Lake Louise offers other outdoor activities including hiking, climbing and canoeing.
