Lake Louise is the crown jewel of Banff National Park, Alberta. It is famous for its crystal clear turquoise color and considered one of the most beautiful lakes in Canada.
Several hiking trails weave around Lake Louise which offers breathtaking panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains such at Mount Victoria, Lefroy, Aberdeen, Fairview, St. Piran, Whyte, Niblock, and endless peaks in the Bow Valley area.
Several tour packages from Banff area (which includes this attraction, but no hiking :) are available for booking through Viator. Please check more details and use these links if you consider booking:
