  • Tip Rating:
  • When visiting Lake Louise, you must go into the Chatteau. There are parts of the hotel open to the public, including the grand reception area, shops etc which holds 1100 guests in 550 rooms.
    The hotel was named after Princess Louise Caroine Alberta who was the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and the wife of the Governor General of Canada in 1884. Sister hotel to Banff Springs hotel.
    The costs can be around 1000 dollars a night I understand and the rich and famous often stay in these tranquil surroundings.
    There is also a Hot Srings you can use

    Chateau Lake Louise is part of the Fairmont hotel chain, just like Banff Springs Hotel. Once again, even if you can't afford to stay there, you should still go for a visit. The Chateau is a beautiful resort and once you're done hanging out in the rest area, you can go (depending on the season) hiking, canoeing, mountain biking, fly fishing, horseback riding, skiing or snowshoeing.

    Chateau /Lake Louise.: Lake Louise
  • Tip Rating:
  • This lake and its famous glacier is about an hour from Banff on the Trans-Canada Highway. One look at the picture and you'll realize why it is a destination for a constant stream of tourists. Despite the crowds, though, the trail along the edge of the lake that heads toward the glacier is a must-do activity. It's a moderate trail, although you can take a harder one that branches off of it, and it gives you great views of the glacier, and of the famous Chateau Lake Lousie that sits on the lake's edge.

  • LAKE LOUISE: Tom Wilson, the 1st white man to see Lake Louise in 1882, named it Emerald Lake. When he returned later, the lake had changed from green to blue, so he rechristened it Lake Louise for the daughter of his traveling companion.

    Lake Louise changes color with the seasons. In the Summer, the silt increases as the ice melts & disperses & reflects the green portion of the light spectrum. When the silt settles more quickly through the fall & spring, the water becomes a rich, deep blue.

  • Officially, Queen Victoria's 4th daughter, Princess Louise Caroline Alberta is more often credited with the lake's name.

    The province of Alberta is also named for Princess Louise!

    This is what Lake Louise will look like in the Winter! Although it's May, the temperature is still low & the ice has not melted...

  • Yes, right behind me is the renown 'frozen' Lake Louise. It was not until a year later that I get to see the beauty of this emerald Lake. Amazingly beautiful & uniquely colored!
