Discover Lake Louise & Moraine Lake, Banff

Introduction

Pairing the ‘Jewel of the Canadian Rockies’, Lake Louise, and the equally stunning Moraine Lake, this excursion takes travellers into some of the most beautiful scenery of this iconic mountain range.

Both are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and when visiting, you will understand why. The waters of Lake Louise are somewhere on the spectrum between turquoise and emerald, and the sharp alpine wilderness which stretches around it is almost impossible to completely capture by photograph; not that we don’t encourage you to try!

Meanwhile, the waters of Lake Moraine are cerulean blue, although that may very well be because it reflects the clear blue sky so perfectly. Giving you plenty of time to take photographs and explore their shorelines at leisure, your guide will teach you all about the area’s mountaineering history and how a tragic accident at Lake Louise shaped Canadian mountain culture.

Finally, walk to a lookout in the Valley of Ten Peaks overlooking Moraine Lake for some final breathtaking views before returning to Banff.
