2025 Lake Louise Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

🏞Lake Louise is truly a jewel of the Canadian Rockies — a place where turquoise waters meet towering mountain peaks in perfect harmony. During my recent trip, I had the chance to explore this stunning spot and embark on the iconic Plain of Six Glaciers hike, and it was nothing short of breathtaking😍 Starting at the famous Lake Louise lakeshore, the trail winds through lush forests and alpine meadows, gradually unveiling panoramic views of six majestic glaciers glistening in the distance. The hike offers the perfect balance of challenge and awe, with each step rewarding you with increasingly spectacular scenery. One of the highlights was reaching the cozy Plain of Six Glaciers Tea House — the perfect spot to relax, sip hot tea, and soak in the incredible views before heading back. The crisp mountain air, the serene blue lake, and the rugged glaciers made this adventure feel like stepping into a postcard. ❗️Make sure to bring cash! No other payments accepted❗️ The other beautiful spot on the way is Lake Agnes - a peaceful alpine lake known for its mirror-like surface. It’s one of those rare places that instantly calms you — a quiet beauty that feels almost sacred. If you’re craving a nature escape that fills your soul with wonder, Lake Louise and the Plain of Six Glaciers hike are absolute must-dos. Trust me, it’s an experience you’ll want to revisit in your dreams long after you leave. ➡️Tips:Remember to come early in the morning to secure a parking lot on Lake Louise. It's 40$ per car. ➡️Summer 2025 up to September 2nd - no extra charges to visit national parks of Canada. ➡️Have a cup of coffee with croissant at Fairmont hotel before the hike! ➡️Lots of people take photos right in front of the lake, but if you walk 100-200m, the view will be the same, but almost no people. #alberta #canada #lakelouise

#DecemberTravelSupportEvent Introducing two beautiful lakes in Banff, Canada. The first is Lake Moraine. I recommend taking a shuttle bus rather than a rental car. The emerald lake is truly breathtaking. The second is Lake Louise. Like Lake Moraine, I highly recommend taking a shuttle bus. It's incredibly large~ The water color is also so pretty^^ I definitely recommend you visit. #ViewRestaurants #Banff #LakeLouis

Lake Louise is the most famous lake in Banff. The lake's water contains minerals from glacial runoff, giving it a clear blue-green color under the sunlight, earning it the nickname 'The Jewel of the Rockies.' When visiting Lake Louise, it is recommended to purchase a Banff National Park ticket in advance, with a daily ticket price of CAD 9.80 for adults. It is best to visit in the early morning or late evening when the light is soft, and the scenery is particularly beautiful. You can take a gondola to Whitehorn Mountain for a panoramic view of Lake Louise and the spectacular Victoria Glacier. Additionally, the Lake Agnes Trail is a great hiking route, passing by Mirror Lake and Bridal Veil Falls, offering stunning views along the way. For accommodation, it is recommended to stay at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. The hotel has a long history, unique architectural style, and is located right by the lake with exquisite interior decor. For dining, the Lake Louise Station Restaurant is recommended, with a nostalgic theme and signature dishes like Station Photo Chicken Breast and Alberta Pork Chops.

#lake #100TravelWays Located in Canada's #BanffNationalPark, #LakeLouisPakeLouise has always been known as "the most dazzling pearl in the Rocky Mountains" and is an important attraction that must be visited when visiting Canada. During this self-driving trip to Canada, I made a special trip to see this beautiful glacial lake. The water of Lake Louise comes from the Victoria Glacier, which is injected by the melting ice in summer. The rich minerals in the glacier give the lake water a beautiful blue-green color. The closer to the glacier, the bluer the lake water is. When the weather is clear, you can also enjoy the mirror-like reflection. There is a trail along the lakeside of Lake Louise. Walking along the trail around the lake, you can not only avoid the crowds, but also enjoy the lake scenery from different angles. The most eye-catching thing on the lakeside is the castle-like five-star hotel Fairmont Château Lake Louise. It is very enjoyable to stay here for a night. #CanadaTravel #Lakes #100WaysToTravel

I am a travel blogger and global traveler, please follow me! (Published the 1744th original travel photo in 1012 cities across 57 countries/regions on 5 continents) Lake Louise is the main attraction of Banff National Park and the most well-known one. It takes just over an hour to drive from Banff town to get there. Lake Louise seems like an emerald dropped into the Rocky Mountains, stunningly beautiful. It is shielded by the graceful Victoria Glacier, with mountains and water complementing each other, like a perfect painting. The water of Lake Louise comes from the Victoria Glacier, making it clear and green, hence it is known as the 'Sapphire of the Rockies'. Since Victoria Mountain is located on the west side of Lake Louise, it is best to arrive before 8 am. First, it is said that the water surface sparkles at sunrise, like a fairyland. Second, there are few parking spaces in the scenic area, and if you arrive late, you will have to wait for a parking spot. Additionally, it is best to avoid the peak season in July and August. The experience of visiting Lake Louise during this time will be 'the lake is beautiful, but there are too many people'. It is difficult to squeeze to the lakeside, and it is crowded with people shoulder to shoulder. Taking a beautiful photo by the lake will be very difficult, and renting a boat to row on the lake will be a luxury.

This time, I will introduce the lakes that can be accessed from the city of Banff! It seems that you can also rent a car yourself, but the parking lot is so crowded that you can only get in if you have a tour bus or van... This time, I participated in an optional tour and got around efficiently 😌 I didn't use any filters on these photos, but aren't they amazing! ? ✨️ The weather was good, the color of the lake was beautiful, and I felt the nature inside, and it was a great experience 🌱 (I usually prefer to take pictures of buildings, but the scenery was so good that I had a lot of fun) Now, I will explain each photo 📷 [1st photo] Lake Louise The color is a little whiter than the others. There is a large hotel in front of it, so you can buy souvenirs there! [2nd photo] Moraine Lake You can see this lake from a place that looks like you have climbed a rocky mountain! The top was a little tough because of the slope of the rocks, but I remember it took less than 10 minutes to go from the bottom to the top, so if you have the stamina, please go up! The view from there is exceptional✨ [3rd photo] Emerald Lake I tried canoeing here! (It was the cheapest of the three lakes...lol) I don't think you'll often be able to experience canoeing on such a beautiful lake! And even though it's August, the water temperature is cold...! If you're going to try canoeing, be careful not to fall in🤭 [4th photo] Spiral Tunnel If you're lucky, you can see a long train with over 100 cars passing through here. When I went, I couldn't see the train, but the view was good! [5th photo] Takakkaw Falls It is said to be the second highest waterfall in Canada💧 That's why the water spray is so amazing! lol There were a lot of water droplets on the camera lens... But it was a dynamic and great experience! After the tour, we returned to the city around 6pm and headed to Calgary by bus! The highway bus from Banff to Calgary is a little far, so be careful... (I was having a leisurely dinner and the departure time was approaching, so I sprinted to the bus 😂In the end, it doesn't depart on time like in Japan, and it was delayed so I didn't need to run...) #canada #banff #overseastravel #summer #100travelstyles

Climbing the Big Beehive in Banff National Park was a journey of awe-inspiring vistas and personal triumph. The trail winded through dense forests, before finally opening up at the last hurdle where we were faced with a huge switchback. Trudging up slowly, step by step, my anticipation grew. Finally reaching the summit, I was greeted by a breathtaking panorama of Lake Louise and the famous Fairmont Château Lake Louise, nestled among towering mountains. The sense of accomplishment was overwhelming as I took in the beauty of the landscape stretching out before me. Sitting atop Big Beehive, I felt a profound connection to nature and a deep appreciation for the splendor of Banff National Park. It's a hike that challenges both body and mind but rewards with unmatched natural beauty. WinHKFlight #winhkflight I'm eager to explore Hong Kong's dynamic fusion of cultures and modernity, from its bustling malls and towering skyscrapers to its vibrant markets and delectable cuisine. International Financial Center, Ladies Market, Honolulu Cafe, I’m coming for ya!

Lake Louise in Banff, Canada, is an absolutely breathtaking and stunning destination. During my visit in October, the beauty of the place left me speechless. What first struck me was the enchanting turquoise color of the lake enhanced by the morning sun. The early hours' tranquility created a serene atmosphere, making it the perfect time to experience the beauty of the lake. As the day progressed, the changing hues of the lake under the bright sunlight were a sight to behold. The turquoise waters surrounded by mountains and forests created an almost surreal, picturesque landscape. The morning's calm gave way to the gentle sounds of nature, adding to the overall charm of the place. Beyond the breathtaking lake, Lake Louise offers a variety of activities such as hiking, canoeing, and exploring the nearby Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, a splendid hotel that complements the natural beauty of the area. The hiking trails around the lake are perfect for nature lovers and provide opportunities to immerse oneself in the captivating scenery. In summary, Lake Louise in Banff, Canada, is a must-visit location. The beautiful turquoise lake, the peaceful surroundings, and the ever-changing beauty of the landscape leave a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to experience it. I highly recommend visiting this natural wonder, as it is truly a place where one can be left breathless.

Lake Louise in Canada is a famous tourist destination in Banff National Park in Alberta, 180 kilometers west of Calgary. It is named after Lake Louise. Lake Louise is surrounded by snow-capped mountains on three sides. The lake water is as green as emerald green and comes from the melted glaciers. There is a hotel in the area which is the sister of Banff Springs Hotel, the Chateau Lake Louise. It is easy to be amazed by the beauty of Lake Louise when traveling there because it is so beautiful. It feels like Lake Louise is a pearl hidden in the Rocky Mountains. Are you moved? Regarding Lake Louise, I can only say that it is beautiful, very beautiful, super beautiful, and invincible beauty. This American beauty is indescribable. Sitting by the lake and admiring the beauty of Lake Louise cannot be described in words. Viewing Lake Louise is simply picturesque. This lake, named after Princess Victoria, is not very large, about two kilometers long and only about five hundred meters wide. It doesn't take much time to walk around the lake. But there are still many people who linger, and it attracts a large number of tourists, and is known as the most beautiful lake in Canada. Mainly because it is deeper. , it is surrounded by mountains, and the snow on Mount Victoria never melts all year round. There is a piece of ice in the middle of the valley that never melts all year round. The ice flows into the valley and becomes clear lake water. I even think Lake Louise is a gem. Lake Louise is beautiful, with the mountains reflected in the lake. Under the sunlight, it emits different lights, sometimes green and sometimes blue. Coupled with the snow-covered mountains, the whole scenery is breathtaking. #familytravel

Lake Agnes with Big Beehive trail hike is a must when visiting Lake Louise national park. The view up Big Beehive is amazing. It encompass a full scenic view of lake Louise and mirror lake. It is about 4 hours hike with elevation of about 500m. Make sure to wear hiking shoes while attempting Big Beehive hike as the path is rocky and sandy. There is a tea house mid way in Lake Agnes. Bring cash while purchasing food there

No matter where you are in Lake Louise, you can almost always see the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise located on the east shore. It occupies the most prominent geographical location in Lake Louise and has become a must-visit place for almost all tourists visiting Lake Louise. Even if you do not stay in this hotel, especially Chinese tour groups, they will arrange to visit or shop inside. As a high-end hotel, the Chateau Lake Louise has a very low cost-performance ratio. I stayed in a lake view king room with windows facing the lake directly, which is also one of the best places to take pictures of the lake view. But the room is too small, only a pitiful 21 square meters, and the bathroom basin is also tiny. The hotel's public areas are quite good, with complete facilities and different activities. #OverseasTravel #Canada #CanadaTravel #5-starHotel #HotelIntroduction #FairmontHotel #BanffNationalPark #canadatravel #canada #lakelouise #hotel #fairmontchateaulakelouise

Hello!! This is Minju, the 2nd Trip.com Supporter~😀 If you go on a trip to Vancouver, the travel course I really want to recommend is the “Rocky Mountains” course! I would like to introduce you to “Lake Louise,” which was the most impressive during the Rocky Mountains tour. I went there in late October and early November, so the lake was already frozen. The frozen lake was really beautiful💖 #CanadaTravel #RockyMountains #LakeLouis #TravelSickness #TravelCourseRecommendation #Vancouver #RecreationTravel

Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise offers many spectacular restaurant options, but our favourite is the afternoon tea. Each afternoon tea seating comprises of a number of delicious sandwiches, scones with jam and cream and an entire buffet of desserts. We were obsessed with the macaroons. The best part is that you get to enjoy the afternoon tea away from the crowds with incredible views of Lake Louise outside! #banff #canada #lakelouise #restaurant

🌟 Banff National Park: The Blue Jewel of the Rockies Nestled in Improvement District No.9 of Alberta, Canada, lies Banff National Park, hailed as the "Sapphire of the Rockies." Established in 1885 after Pacific Railway workers discovered hot springs on Sulphur Mountain, this became Canada's first national park. Wander through its landscapes to witness the breathtaking tapestry of glaciers, canyons, and lakes. 🏔️ Natural Wonders Tour 1️⃣ Lake Louise This glacial lake, named after Queen Victoria's daughter, dazzles with turquoise waters colored by glacial rock flour. In 1882, Canadian Pacific Railway surveyor Tom Wilson first discovered this paradise, describing it as "a sapphire fallen to earth." The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, built in the late 19th century, retains its Victorian elegance by the shore. 2️⃣ Moraine Lake Cradled by the Valley of the Ten Peaks, this glacial lake once graced Canada's $20 bill. In 1951, photographer Nick Deat captured its world-famous postcard image. At dawn, when sunlight first touches the water, you'll understand why Indigenous people called it "the dwelling place of spirits." 3️⃣ Sulphur Mountain Gondola Since 1965, this gondola has whisked visitors to the 2,281-meter summit. Choose a clear morning to enjoy panoramic views of Banff town and possibly spot bighorn sheep foraging. Savor wild blueberry muffins at the summit café while floating above clouds—a uniquely alpine romance. 🌲 Pro Tips: - Arrive at Lake Louise by 5:30 AM to enjoy mirror-like waters without crowds - Late August to early September offers golden larch trees transforming valleys into seas of gold - Rent a bike to ride along Bow Valley Parkway, where elk often drink by the river Since 1883, Banff Hot Springs has flowed with natural sulfur waters. Soaking in these mountain-ringed pools, you'll share the railway workers' awe. As Canadian painter A.Y. Jackson said: "Every peak here is a poem, every lake a painting." Walk through Ice Age imprints, listen to Indigenous legends, and discover why Banff National Park is a living geology textbook—waiting for you to write your own wilderness chapter.

[Banff, Canada] We went to our second home, Canada 🇨🇦! Since we were there, we decided to take a trip across the country ✈️ The Canadian Rockies are a must-see ⛰️ The famous Lake Louise, also known as a beautiful glacial lake. We were greeted by a beautiful contrast of emerald green and blue that was beyond words 🩵 It was a very moving time to see the same scenery as when we came here 10 years ago. There are tours available, but this time we rented a car and enjoyed the scenery to our heart's content 👀⭐️ I hope we can return someday. . 💫 📍Location: Lake Louise, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada #tourism #canada #overseastraveltactics ##banff #banffnationalpark

#postandearn Let me tell you my story on how I saved more than a hundred dollars while #skiing in #canada . I booked a flight to #calgary using one of the deals of the month from the #trip app ( Trip.com ). Once upon arrival, I got in touch with the local community of expats and one of the seasonal workers was doing her season working around the mountains. I met a Chilinean that was doing the season in one of the ski resorts close to #lakelouise . I asked her if she had a coupon or a local permit that she might borrow me for a day and actually her answer was even better. She said that she had several permits for her friends that she couldn’t use as she had no friends in Canada and they were expiring the same week I arrived so if I wanted to use them, I will have a 50% discount and also a discount on the rental equipment so at the end I was skiing for an entire day for less than $70 which was an amazing deal and I hope if you can handle that tiny hassle you will save a lot at the end of the day!

Had the most stunning view of Lake Louise right from the restaurant. ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING! I enjoyed a fresh lobster roll paired with a lovely drink. Great food, relaxing atmosphere, and the best seat in town to soak in the lake’s beauty. A must-visit!!!

Lost, but loving it! #travel #naturalwonders

Banff National Park is truly the most beautiful place in Canada. I went there in winter time when it is the most beautiful time there and fewer people are. To save money, I lived in Canmore and took a bus to travel around in Banff. Here are some sites that I visited: 🏔️Three Sisters, Canmore🏔️ Even just in Canmore, you can see many beautiful mountains. The Three Sisters are the most famous ones. The people there are very nice and friendly because most locals live in Canmore not Banff, so you get to enjoy the warmth of the locals while living in Canmore surrounded by mountains. 🏔️Banff National Park🏔️ 📍Lake Louise Lake Louise is truly a place that will make you feel like you’re in a painting. The unique turquoise color of the lake is definitely what makes the lake so beautiful. It is beyond the description of words. You have to visit it yourself to experience the wonder. 📍Johnston Canyon At Johnston Canyon, you get to see all kinds of amazing views, including canyon, creek, waterfall, and even cliffs made with ice! Some of the waterfall is even frozen into ice sticks. The total length of the hike is about 2.6km, so you can complete it without too much effort. However, in winter time the road is covered with ice, so it’s quite slippery. Please bring shoes that have spikes when you visit. 📍Tunnel Mountain If you want to hike the easiest mountain in Banff, Tunnel Mountain is a relatively easy one for travellers. It’s amazing to elevate yourself to this height and have a broad view of the landscape, which really opens up my mind and heart for more new things coming into my life. 🏞️Beautiful lake view to visit🏞️ 📍Moraine Lake 📍Two Jack Lake 📍Lake Minnewanka 📍Vermilion Lakes 📍Bow Falls 🏠Accommodation: Party Hostel- Canmore Hotel Hostel This is a hostel that you get to make friends easily because downstairs is the restaurant and bar. You can have karaoke, delicious meals, billiards, and meet many friendly people from around the world as well as the locals. 📍738 8 St, Canmore, Alberta, T1W 2B6, Canada 🚍Transportation Bus is available and affordable in this area. I really can never forget the beautiful scenery and feeling I get from Banff National Park. It is a must-visit place if you have the chance to go to Canada. There are still so many mountains I haven’t hiked there. I really have to go back again to explore more. Explore Banff yourself and choose the mountains that you’re resonated with the most to immerse yourself in nature💗🏞️ #banff #banffnationalpark #canadatrip #canada #canadatravel #nature #naturelovers #hiking #snow #lake #naturewonders

Around mid-April, Banff National Park is in the off-season so there are no crowds and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery at the junction of winter and spring! ! If you don't plan to drive to Banff National Park, it is highly recommended to take a bus from Calgary to Banff. You will arrive in an hour and there is no need to buy tickets to the national park separately! Relatively cost-effective! This time I bought the ticket on Flixbus, the fare was cheap and the bus departed on time!
