Lake Louise

Forty-five minutes drive from Banff, and also in Banff National Park, is scenic Lake Louise: a lake, a village, and a ski resort.

Like Banff, Lake Louise is home to a classic railroad hotel, now run as the Fairmont Lake Louise. The village of Lake Louise has several hotels and a few shops; the ski resort is about ten minutes away.

The actual Lake Louise ranks high on the world scale of sightseeing, due to its famous emerald color. In summer, take a walk round the lake, or ride a gondola to see the views; a nearby glacier adds to the visuals.

In winter, be wowed by ice scuptures at the annual Ice Magic Festival in January.
