From the vivid turquoise waters to the soaring peaks encircling the lake, Lake Louise is a stunning mountain setting. Fellow adventurers soak in the views from the shore, and bright red canoes float on the glacial waters. It’s hard to resist dipping a hand into the water just to see if it’s actually real.

Several hikes take off from the lakefront. Begin with the lakeshore trail along the water, pausing to take in a tall waterfall and fearless rock climbers. Glacial creeks converge at the far end of the lake, and every shade of blue imaginable melds together just beyond the shoreline.

In the colder months, Lake Louise turns into a magical frozen wonderland. Find cross country-skiers gliding across the lake, ice climbers scaling frozen waterfalls and a horse drawn sleigh following the snow-covered shoreline. To top it off an outdoor skating rink welcomes skaters of all abilities with unmatched scenic views and a sparking ice castle.
