Awesome place!
Would love to go back in the summer!
Lake Louise — Canada’s “Diamond in the Wilderness,” and the “Hiking Capital of Canada”. This area offers a tremendous diversity of recreational and sightseeing opportunities. Lake Louise is home to one of North America’s finest downhill ski areas, and has numerous hiking and walking trails. The region abounds with spectacular scenery, from glaciers to waterfalls.
A quick word to big city dwellers – this is one of the ‘last outposts of man in the area’ – the next nearest ‘destination’ – 3 hours away – is jasper, the next town out before you’re enroute to Alaska – DO NOT expect to find a booming ‘Aspen’ or ‘Vail’ nightlife experience here…
You will however find the best powder skiing on the Continent, unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities, our famous Canadian Rockies scenery; and perhaps you’ll find yourself again.
The Village of Lake Louise is on the Trans-Canada Highway fifty-seven kilometers (thirty-five miles) west of banff. This quiet and small village offers a range of travel amenities, fabulous dining opportunities and accommodations.
