Lake Louise is a hamlet in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, known for its turquoise, glacier-fed lake ringed by high peaks and overlooked by a stately chateau. Hiking trails wind up to the Lake Agnes Tea House for bird's-eye views. There's a canoe dock in summer, and a skating rink on the frozen lake in winter. The Lake Louise Ski Resort features a wildlife interpretive center at the top of a gondola.

During 23 Dec 2019 - 10 Mar 2020: Bubble Lake Tour

Winter trips are susceptible to weather conditions; departure time and tour time are subject to the tour guide.

Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise (Meeting at the hotel lobby)

Travel through Icefields Parkway, we are entering【Jasper National Park】. You'll also watch along the way the notable parkway's landmarks【Crowfoot Glacier 】; Afterwards, well' visit 【Bow Lake】. It is one of the largest lakes in Banff National Park. Fed by meltwater from the Bow Glacier in the Wapta Icefield, the lake lies at the base of Bow Summit, which is perfectly reflected in its aquamarine waters on a calm day. Great place for a short stroll.

Abraham Lake is famous for Frozen Bubbles Lake in the winter. It is due to a phenomenon that creates "frozen bubbles" under the ice. The decaying plants on the lakebed release methane's gas, bubbles of which are trapped just below the surface as the lake begins to freeze. Abraham lake has become a popular destination for photographers.

At your own expense, add a 【helicopter】 experience. Professional flight pilot with 12 minutes flight time.

 

 

Jasper National Park  

The town of Jasper is in the heart of Jasper National Park. The park's shimmering glaciers, abundant wildlife, crystal-clear lakes, thundering waterfalls, deep canyons and evergreen forest — all surrounded by towering mountains — are some of the reasons the park was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's one of only 15 such sites in Canada. At 11,228 square kilometers (4,335 square miles), Jasper National Park is also Canada's largest park in the Rocky Mountains and the second largest Dark Sky Preserve in the world.

 

Johnston Canyon

Jones Canyon is one of the three largest canyons in the Rocky Mountains and ranks second among all attractions in Banff. 

 

Vermilion Lakes

Vermillion Lake, is a group of wetlands located in Banff National Park. The scenery is beautiful. The excellent sunrise and sunset shooting locations here are like a fairytale fantasy world.

 

 

Abraham Lake

Bubble Lake, also known as Abraham Lake, is famous for frozen bubble wonders and is a rare beauty in the eyes of photographers. Unlike many natural lakes in the Rocky Mountains, Abraham Lake is an artificial lake. Organic matter at the bottom of the lake produced methane gas during the process of bacterial decomposition. When the lake was frozen in winter, these gases were frozen in the ice layer of the lake, forming a wonderful "bubble lake" landscape in front of you.
