Lake Louise

Nestled within Alberta, Canada’s breathtaking Banff National Park in Alberta, sits Lake Louise. The lake is best known thanks to the mesmerizing turquoise hue that seems straight out of a fairy tale. Its exceptional color is the result of rock flour sprinkled generously by the glaciers that peer down upon the lake.

Lake Louise is a year-round playground for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike. In the summer months, the fun is endless: hiking trails weaving through lush green forests along the lake, mountain biking and rock climbing adventures, and horseback rides offering a majestic view of the landscape.

When winter arrives, the enchantment reaches a whole new level as Lake Louise transforms into a winter wonderland straight out of a holiday postcard. Those willing to brave the cold can enjoy ice fishing, ice skating on the frozen Lake Louise, and even scaling frozen waterfalls. Those who are not adrenaline junkies may choose instead to hop aboard a horse-drawn sleigh and let the crisp winter air whisk them along the snowy shoreline. Lake Louise is a place where magic meets adventure — no matter the season!
