Lake Louise

Lake Louise is a destination in its own right with a good range of hotels and a small village centre with shops and a small number of restaurants. The lake itself is 3km from the village and is one of the most stunning sites in the Canadian Rockies. The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise lies on the lakeshore and is a magnificent place to stay or dine.
Lake Louise is home to some of the best hiking in Banff National Park and several days can be spent in the area by keen walkers or climbers.
