LAKE LOUISE
Known as the Jewel of the Rockies, Lake Louise boasts dramatic scenery, great hikes, and activities such as canoeing and horseback riding. The turquoise lake, the backdrop of Victoria Glacier and soaring mountain make for incredible hiking for you to enjoy.
Named after one of Queen Victoria’s daughter, Lake Louise is a truly awe-inspiring sight. Lake Louise was previously known as the Lake of the Little Fishes by the Stoney Nakoda First Nations people. It measures about 2.5 kilometres (1.5 miles) long and 90 metres (295 feet) deep.

FAIRVIEWLOOKOUT
.No matter the length of your Lake Louise bucket list, there is time to explore the area’s famed hiking trails - especially one that offers such a high return as the Fairview Lookout. Southeast from the lakeshore, you’ll head into the trees where the sounds of the thickly forested slopes take over from the lively lakeshore. Emerging from the trees 1 km later, you’ll step onto a spectacular viewing platform poised above the turquoise waters that offer reflection and inspiration.
