Destination Overview

Most travellers on a Canada holiday are drawn to the country’s spectacular natural scenery, vast reserves of wilderness, the plethora of adventure sporting options in the Rockies, and abundant wildlife sighting opportunities. Located 120 miles west of Calgary and 36 miles west of Banff, a holiday in Lake Louise packs in quintessential Canada and tops it off with the quaint, old-world charm of a small town and the dreamy languidness of a place happily suspended in a time warp and unwilling to give in to the glitz, frenzied pace, and indifference of an urban life. You will want to take a Lake Louise holiday to get away from the “madness” and discover the stillness within you.

The teeny-tiny hamlet of Lake Louise is big on attractions. The natural scenery is beautiful, in the jaw-dropping kind of way. Turquoise lakes girdled by a ring of snow-capped peaks. Mammoth glaciers stretch for miles. Verdant forests are home to an eclectic collection of flora and fauna. Seasons show up in colourful garbs. Fun-filled festivals showcase the beauty and culture of the region. Aside from the recreational activities to fill up your days, the attractions of Lake Louise holidays also include diverse experiences that fill your senses.

During your holidays to Lake Louise, discover silence that is deafening, broken only by the soft sound of leaves crunching underfoot (Or was it an elk darting into hiding?) or the thunderous crash of chunks of ice breaking off from glaciers. Be prepared to be greeted by vast stretches of empty spaces, where it is only you, the mountains, the winds, and the skies. Lake Louise is Canada’s “Diamond in the Wilderness.” It is one of the last human outposts in the region, and you feel as if a gaping nothingness is right around the corner. Being in the middle of nowhere, without distractions, and with only you as company, you discover yourself and uncork the great reserves of stillness, wisdom, and insights inside of you. A holiday to Lake Louise is a spiritually uplifting sojourn and helps you reset your priorities.

Lake Louise is one of the most photographed water-bodies in the world and is an emblem of the spectacular natural beauty of the Banff National Park. And the lake is really as blue as it appears in the photographs! In fact, it is bluer than the gorgeous blue skies above. In summer, the deep blue hue of the lake presents a dramatic contrast to the rich green tones of the verdant forests and the sombre browns of the craggy peaks around it. In winter, Lake Louise turns into a giant skating rink. Lake Moraine presents drama in its setting. Nestled in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, the lake is encircled by imposing snow-capped peaks. It is as if the mighty mountains are standing tall to hide away an exquisite piece of jewel! And indeed the rugged wilderness of Lake Moraine deters boisterous merrymakers, leaving you alone to immerse yourself in the pristine beauty. The Banff National Park is one of the most stunning natural reserves in the world and a must-visit on your Lake Louise holiday. The Park preserves a delicate ecosystem and is home to many diverse native species of flora and fauna.     

A holiday to Canada tops the bucket list of many an intrepid adventurer, inquisitive explorer, and action junkie seeking an adrenaline rush. The Canadian Rockies is the perfect playground for the outdoors person. During your holidays in Lake Louise, you can get your fill of action and adventure in more than one way.  If speed thrills you, head to the snow-covered mountains and meadows for a round of downhill skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, heli-skiing and boarding, and dog sledding. Explore the snowy Rockies on an ice walking tour or take off on a cross-country skiing trip or a snowshoeing adventure.

In Lake Louise, the days are gloriously sunny and pleasantly warm. After being blanketed under a canopy of snow for months, there is colour once more on the mountainsides, forests, and trails. Hike, bike, ride (a horse or a four-wheeler) play a round of golf, go fishing, canoeing, kayaking, or white-water rafting, climb a mountain to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors in your own way.

Lake Louise is a quiet town, but it is far from being a sleepy place. After spending a day on the Rockies, you can spend the evenings hopping from one teahouse to another grub joint tasting the local flavours or go shopping to pick up memories to take back home. Keep an eye on the Lake Louise events calendar. The many festivals of Lake Louise celebrate the spirit of the seasons, showcase the cultural heritage of the region, embody the harmonious relationship that Nature and man share here, and bring out the creative persona of the locals.

Lake Louise

Holidays in Lake Louise are eventful whenever you visit this part of the Canadian Rockies. The sights, scents, and sounds are different across seasons. The mountains catch the changing light and take on a hundred brilliant colours.

The still waters of Lake Louise reflect the hues of the day and the shades of the seasons; the lake at dusk looks nothing like how it glistened at dawn. An abundance of recreational activities provides opportunities to travellers to be outdoors and be privy to the spectacular visual shows that Mother Nature puts up during the day and across the seasons. The many festivals of Lake Louise welcome the seasons and affords opportunities to mingle with the locals, make new friends, and have a whale of a time having fun the Lake-Louise way.

The winter landscape in Lake Louise is stark and barren. The silence is deafening. Hark! What was it that just zoomed past you? That was a ski racer; Lake Louis is home to the Lake Louis Alpine Ski World Cup. And why has the tiny village of Lake Louis all dressed up in twinkling lights? It’s the Winterstart Festival. The locals have made sure they liven up the winters. During winter, Lake Louis is abuzz with activities. The intensity of the skiing competition is only matched by the joie de vivre and gaiety of the festivals.

Spring is a time for fresh starts. The season brings in a profusion of colours and a symphony of sounds that are in sharp contrast to the whiteness and stillness of the winter landscape. As the snow starts to melt, Nature springs back to life. There are pops of green everywhere as blades of grass and shoots sprout and buds appear on the bare branches. Pause and listen! You will hear birds chirping, and if out on the trail, you may even catch a grizzly bear—now awake and alert—out to look for food.

Lake Louise may have action-packed winters, but its summers are no less busy. As the “Hiking Capital of Canada,” summer is the perfect season to hit the trails—walk, run, bike, or ride a horse—to enjoy the brilliantly sunny outdoors. As the snows melt, the lakes and rivers once again fill to the brim, and it is time to cast the line. Or take a paddle boat and head out to the middle of Lake Louise or Lake Moraine. And then sit back, take a deep breath, and gaze at the views around. Soak up the warm sunshine and breathe in the vibes of the mountains around you.

Autumn is a glorious time to embark on a Canada tour. The days are shorter, which means that lots of other tourists have gone back home. But the days are still warm, which means you can enjoy the outdoors. The Nature-loving people of Lake Louis welcome autumn with abandon. Wonderfall is their way of celebrating the colours of the season, the scents unique to Autumn, the surreal haze that hangs just overhead, and the mellowing light that casts strange shadows on the ground. Head out to the trails and woods to see Mother Nature splashing her colours all around. The mountainsides are on fire while a carpet of leaves from the larch turn the ground below your feet into a rich shade of golden. At the end of the day, trudge back, weary but happy, to a local restaurant where they serve traditional autumnal delicacies.
