Lake Louise -- it is Canada's "Diamond in the Wilderness," set amid grandiose walls of ice and sheets of rock in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, shimmering like an emerald jewel. Each year more than two million visitors pay homage to the grandiose setting at the shores of Lake Louise, sightseeing, photographing, dining, hiking, climbing and canoeing.

Located in the heart of Banff National Park and the world famous Rocky Mountain World Heritage Site, the "Hiking Capital of Canada" offers a tremendous diversity of recreational and sightseeing opportunities. Lake Louise is home to one of North America's finest downhill skiing areas, and the region abounds with spectacular scenery, from glaciers to waterfalls.

The village of Lake Louise is on the Trans-Canada Highway fifty-seven kilometres (thirty-five miles) west of Banff. The village offers a full range of travel amenities, dining opportunities and accommodations.
