Established in 1890 as Laggan Station, Lake Louise was previously a wild station toward the finish of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Today this villa, lake, and the close-by zone offer the absolute best climbing, skiing, and site-finding on the planet. Lake Louise and Moraine Lake typically soften by late May. Elevated climbing season starts in late June.

Stopping is restricted at the Lake Louise Lakeshore and Moraine Lake and parking areas are full by dawn in pinnacle season (May to October). Preparing is critical. Park your vehicle and ride Roam Transit to Lake Louise, or save a seat ahead of time on a Parks Canada transport and leave your vehicle at the Park and Ride. Take advantage of your visit to Banff National Park by utilizing transports and travel.

New in 2020 – Parks Canada urges guests to prepare by saving their transport seats ahead of time of their visit. Reservations will be accessible for the late spring season on the Parks Canada Reservation System, beginning on April 1, 2020.

When to visit

Lake Louise is one of Canada’s most mainstream destinations. Preparing ahead is essential!

When are Lake Louise and Moraine Lake open?

Lake Louise Village and the Lake Louise Lakeshore are open all year.

The 13 km street to Moraine Lake opens the Tuesday after Victoria Day in mid-May and shuts the Tuesday after Canadian Thanksgiving in mid-October. Throughout the colder time of year, the street is a track set for skiing and the lake itself is difficult to reach because of torrential slide risk.

When do the teahouses open at Lake Louise?

The enchanting Lake Agnes and Plain of Six Glaciers tea houses are the most famous summer climbing objections in the Lake Louise zone. These secretly worked teahouses open mid-May and close after Canadian Thanksgiving in mid-October.

The climbs to the teahouses are undependable from November through mid-May because of torrential slide peril. Try not to climb to Lake Agnes or the Plain of Six Glacier throughout the colder time of year or spring. In May and June, check the path report before leaving.

RV stopping at Moraine Lake is restricted and RVs may be allowed to go on the Moraine Lake Road when RV spaces are accessible. We suggest preparing and taking a Parks Canada transport for the most elevated possibility of visiting Moraine Lake throughout the late spring.
