Overview

*Professional photography from our tour guide*
※Please note that during the summer season (June to mid-October), our itinerary will include Moraine Lake as an additional destination. Winter season only visit 3 Lakes(Lake Louise, Emerald Lake, Peyto Lake).
Kindly refer to the tour notification we send out the day before departure for the finalized itinerary.

Lake Louise captivates year-round. Before winter, its emerald waters reflect the towering snow-capped peaks, while in winter, it transforms into a serene, frozen expanse encircled by majestic mountains.

Emerald Lake enchants in every season. Before freezing, its crystal-clear waters mirror the peaks and forests, creating a vibrant green contrast. In winter, it becomes a tranquil, snow-covered wonderland.

Peyto Lake dazzles with its turquoise hue before winter, mirroring rugged peaks. Once frozen, it turns into a peaceful icy landscape, with its wolf-head shape visible from Bow Summit, framed by snowy mountains.
