About
Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, both celebrated for their crystal-clear blue waters fed by the impressive glaciers and the Valley of the Ten Peaks. Designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites, these locales are an absolute essential on your journey through Banff National Park and the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Our adventure initiates with our comfortable, AC, 15-passenger van eagerly awaits to collect our guests at every major hotel in Canmore and Banff. We begin at Moraine Lake Road, navigating under the impressive Mt. Temple, the highest peak in Lake Louise which towers 3,554 meters above sea level. Once at Moraine Lake, we will head to its majestic shores and walk to the top of the Rockpile where you will be rewarded with stunning vistas of the lake and the legendary Valley of the Ten Peaks.
We set forth on our expedition towards Lake Louise. With stunning emerald waters, majestic mountain vistas, and a rich history steeped in indigenous culture and exploration, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who visit. We’ll embark on a journey to discover the enchanting allure of this destination, its historical significance, and the multitude of activities that await visitors in this breathtaking corner of Canada. Our adventure at Lake Louise lasts approximately two hours, giving you enough time to rent a canoe, walk along the lakeshore, or simply relax by the lake.
