LAKE LOUISE CANADA

Lake Louise, Canada is so many things: a turquoise lake named after a princess, a hamlet home to less than a thousand people, Canada’s largest ski resort and a Chateau nicknamed “Diamond in the Wilderness.” Lake Louise, Canada is indeed a jewel hidden within Banff National Park’s vast landscape. Silt and minerals suspended in the glacial waters of Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and Peyto Lake create their signature blue-green hue. Come and see for yourself what makes Lake Louise Canada’s most photographed destination.

Follow the tradition of mountain exploration begun by Swiss mountain guides imported by the Canadian Pacific Railway in the 1800’s. Those guides began a tradition that has become legendary. They taught generations of tourist-adventurers and locals how to safely push the limits of mountain exploration. Your Good Earth planned vacation in Lake Louise, Canada can include spectacular guided hikes along the same trails forged by famous guides.

In the summer, white water river rafting makes for an unforgettable day trip. Located a short drive from Lake Louise, Canada is the famous Kicking Horse river, offering thrilling but not intimidating Class II and III rapids in the Upper Canyon. The more challenging Lower Canyon delivers heart-pounding excitement on Class IV rapids as your guide steers the raft through the dramatic river valley. For a more placid day on the water, paddle a canoe across the translucent waters of Lake Louise or Moraine Lake, keeping an eye out for birds or other wildlife such as moose and bears.

In winter, cap off an active day of skiing the expansive slopes next to Lake Louise (Canada’s largest ski area at 4200 skiable acres and 113 runs) by taking a walk through the quaint mountain shops in the village’s Samson Mall. Enjoy dinner at restaurant set in a 1909 railway station, a charming relic to the days of luxury train travel through the Canadian Rockies.
