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

#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.

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

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.

🚗 Our journey began in the bustling city, driving towards the mountains. The picturesque scenery along the way was truly refreshing. As the altitude increased, the city's hustle and bustle gradually faded away, replaced by the tranquility and peace of nature. 🏞️ Finally, we arrived at our destination, and the cabin before us was like a paradise. Surrounded by lush forests, it felt like a small world of its own, completely separate from the outside. Here, we could escape the city's noise and fully immerse ourselves in nature's embrace. 🏡 The cabin's interior was very cozy, with modern decor that blended seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The bed was comfortable, and outside the window were rolling mountains and lush greenery.
