Luxury Hotels In Lake Louise

Stay Beside Lake Louise

Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise stands beside the lake, with the Victoria Glacier forming part of the wider outlook. The shore gives the hotel its immediate setting: water below the mountain walls, with the glacier at the head of the valley. A stay here suits travellers who want the lake to be part of the morning and evening, as well as an outing during the day.

Follow The Valley Towards The Glaciers

The Plain of Six Glaciers trail continues beyond Lake Louise towards the peaks and glaciers at the valley’s head. Choose this mountain outing for a closer view of the high landscape beyond the hotel’s outlook. It involves a sustained ascent, rather than simply extending time beside the water. Its Swiss-built teahouse is part of the route’s character, with service a separate seasonal arrangement.

Moraine Lake And The Larch Forest Above It

Moraine Lake sits in the Valley of the Ten Peaks. The Rockpile viewpoint frames that lake beneath the mountains; Larch Valley takes a different course, climbing into larch forest high above the water. For a visit centred on the lake basin, keep the shore and viewpoint as the focus. A day chosen for the forest and higher mountain landscape calls for a hiking plan of its own.

See The River And Railway At Morant’s Curve

Near Lake Louise, Morant’s Curve lies at the western end of the Bow Valley Parkway, where the railway follows the meandering Bow River with mountains beyond. The railway adds the history of travel through the Rockies to this landscape. Choose the curve for the sweep of river, track and mountains; a passing train is incidental, not something the outing can promise.
