Lake Louise Maps and Orientation

(Lake Louise, Alberta - AB, Canada)



Picture showing the surrounding mountain peaksAn immensely beautiful lake and popular resort within the very heart of the Banff National Park, Lake Louise lies close to the Trans Canada Highway 93 and off the Lake Louise Drive. The area is quite different to its nearby sister resort of Banff, which lies just 45 minutes away and to the south-east, comprising two very distinct resort areas.

The first of these districts is made up of a collection of hotels and small shops, and this small hamlet is known simply as Lake Louise Village. The second resort is of course the actual lake, which is situated a mere 4 km / 2.5 miles from the village itself and enjoys a more elevated setting.


Maps and Orientation of the Village

It is actually quite possible to walk between the lake and the village, along wither the Louise Creek Trail, or the Tramline Trail. However, the best walking trails lie around Lake Louise and so you would be sensible to simply catch a taxi between these areas, and save you time for some even better views.

Of note, there is a third resort area nearby - the Moraine Lake, which is to be found around 13 km / 8 miles from the village and to the south. These Lake Louise resorts are at their busiest in the summer season, although in the winter, the powdery snow does attract crowds of skiers to the Front Side (South Face ) area. Maps of the region and the various hiking trails are available at the very impressive Lake Louise Information Centre, and at the Woodruff and Blum bookstore within the Samson Mall.
