Lake Louise sits in a beautiful location surrounded on three sides by mountains and on the fourth by the Chateau Lake Louise. There is an excellent path along one side of the lake which is suitable for people of all abilities and further walks start from this path for the more adventurous.

I knew from the moment i first looked at the hiking at Lake Louise that we would do the Circuit hike. AKA the 2 teahouse hike. we were going to attempt to do the Tea-house hike – and both of them, not just one… we wanted to go in the morning but, we also wanted to go when other people... more
