LAKE LOUISE

A busy little town on the edge of the outrageously photogenic Lake Louise. The chance to meet wildlife including elk and bear. Flights over Jasper National Park, the Columbia Icefield and Snow Dome. The best place in the Rockies for guided hiking.

Lake Louise is nothing sort of idyllic. The waters reflect the colours of the sky giving you postcard perfect pictures at every turn, and the waterside town has a quiet charm all of its own. But excitement is never far away. You can expect to have some major wildlife encounters – elk are often seen shambling along the road and bears are frequent visitors. But perhaps your most unforgettable moments will happen when you take to the air.

Lake Louise specialises in helicopter trips that put the glorious scenery of Jasper National Park at your feet. The can fly over the astonishing Columbia Icefield and the onwards to the wonderworld of Lyle and Wilson Icefields and the soaring Rocky Mountains. And the action continues back on terra firma. To see the landscape close up you can go trail riding through the wilderness, hiking, rafting along exhilarating rivers or even mountain biking to remote areas.
