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.
DEER LODGE
Deer Lodge is just minutes away from world famous Lake Louise. The lodge is a testament to a bygone era and retains much of its original hand-hewn log structure and decor. Built in 1923 as a teahouse, the lodge officially opened as a hotel in 1925. Deer Lodge was completely renovated, restored and winterized in 1985.
LAKE AGNES AND TEAHOUSE
Lake Agnes is one of our favourite hikes to take in the scenery of Lake Louise. After a beautiful hike enjoy a cup of tea and a baked treat at the Lake Agnes teahouse! The trail is well maintained and follows a series of switchbacks.

BIG AND LITTLE BEEHIVE'S
Beyond Lake Agnes, use switchbacks to climb the Big Beehive for a stunning panorama of Lake Louise and the Chateau.

MOUNT FAIRVIEW
In a region that was explored by Swiss Mountain Guides in the early 20th century, it makes sense to challenge your inner mountaineer with a steep hike up a famous peak.
