Lake Louise
The main attraction to Lake Louise for many is the sparkling turquoise lake itself. The beautiful, milky blue lake rests at the foot of Victoria Glacier, which rises majestically behind, capped by snow and ice year-round. First sighted by Europeans in 1882, the lake has become one of Canada's best-loved sights and the most photographed scene in the Canadian Rockies. All Rocky Mountaineer guests with an overnight stay in Lake Louise stay at ''The Diamond in the Wilderness” The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, located right on the shores of this legendary lake with breathtaking views.
The entire area offers a host of leisure opportunities, including skiing, hiking, fishing, biking and simply relaxing. Moraine Lake is a short distance away and is perfect for a day trip. As with most of the Rockies, the area affords incredible opportunity for sightseeing and photography.
