Lake Louise Fall Festival

September is unbelievably spectacular. Don’t miss the opportunity to hike through the golden larch trees, a stunning contrast to the dramatic Canadian Rockies, evergreen valleys and turquoise-blue lakes.

Sign up for a guided hike or bike adventure to learn about the history, flora and fauna of Lake Louise, or take a wilderness horseback trip like early explorers who opened up the rugged west. Restaurants have created tasty Fall Festival menus along with cooking and wine-paring seminars.

A variety of interesting new events are planned, including a photography workshop, the Tea House “challenge,” and a Swiss Guides exhibition to honor the intrepid pioneering spirit of legendary mountain guides.
