General presentation
Lake Louise and Moraine Lake
Turquoise lakes, glaciers and great alpine trails are the most famous landscapes of the Canadian Rockies.
Lake Louise and Moraine Lake are found around Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and Lake Agnes Tea House. The stay thus alternates between mountain reliefs, shores and lakes, forests and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Lake
Lake Louise
Lake Louise combines turquoise milky water, a glacier suspended at the bottom of the valley and the steep walls that surround the shore. Very frequented, the place gains to be seen early or from the paths that rise, when the lake ceases to be only an image and becomes a landscape in depth.
Nature and landscape
Moraine Lake
Moraine Lake lies at the foot of the Valley of the Ten Peaks, with an intense blue water fed by the glaciers. The rocky lookout gives the best known view, but the silence of the morning, the trunks in the water and the tight peaks around the basin make all the strength of the place.
Lake
Lake Agnes Tea House
The Lake Agnes Tea House waits at the edge of a small alpine lake, after a climb from Lake Louise The tea house, without road access, gives the break a rare character: hot drinks, wooden benches, rocky walls and feeling of having gained its respite on foot.
