Lake Louise Travel Guide

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.
