Go boating on the lake – People have been doing this for 100 years.
At the edge of the lake, with a soaring mountain behind
it, is the boathouse where they rent canoes. You can glide out
across the turquoise crystal clear waters. |

|
|
Hikes – Everyone in the family will want to hike, easiest ones are a stroll to
the end of the lake or along one of the side paths, views are stunning
wherever you go. |

A favorite hike to the Teahouses. Start
down the path along the lake, then follow the first Teahouse sign.
The path is not steep, but it is icy near the top almost all year long,
so wear good hiking shoes, since round trip it's 7 miles. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The other great path is at the far end of the
Lake, up a steeper path to the Plain of Six Glaciers Teahouse. You'll
hike past a stream and huge boulders, then, two miles up you reach a little
building where you can rest and have tea and other refreshments. |

Summer Gondola – If you just can't
do the hike but would love to see the views, there's an easier way: take the gondola. Along with gondola ticket, add breakfast or lunch options. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
At the top, there are hiking trails in all directions, bring your lunch and explore. |

Go for a trail ride – In the warmer
months, the Lake Louise stables offer hour long trail rides around the lake
on sure footed horses. This is a leisurely sight seeing ride, not a gallop
and rarely a trot on the way. |

|
|
Moraine Lake – Just off the road to Lake Louise (in the Valley of
the Ten Peaks), don’t pass this by. The area around Moraine Lake is one
of the prettiest places in Canada and there are lots of trails to choose
from. |
|
|
|
| |
|
Try the Wenchemka Pass trail for a great view of Moraine
Lake. You’ll walk through alpine meadows filled with wildflowers and cross
slide areas of huge limestone boulders to Eiffel Lake. You can keep going
for another hour, and
reach the summit of Wenchemka Pass. |
