Lake Louise

Few communities in Alberta have a history as closely tied to railway tourism as Lake Louise. Set within Banff National Park, the hamlet takes its name from Lake Louise, a glacial lake beneath Victoria Glacier in the Canadian Rockies. Named for Princess Louise, a daughter of Queen Victoria, the lake became a destination promoted by the Canadian Pacific Railway from the late 19th century. The Château Lake Louise remains a prominent lakeside hotel. Trails lead toward the Plain of Six Glaciers and Lake Agnes, while the Bow Valley and Trans-Canada Highway connect the area with the wider park.
