Skating on Lake Louise

When the turquoise water of Lake Louise freezes, it becomes one of the most scenic skating rinks anywhere. The view of the Victoria Glacier and the historic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise makes for a classic winter picture. Each January, the lake also hosts an ice sculpture event.

Hot springs and mountain towns

After a day outdoors, many visitors relax at the Banff Upper Hot Springs, a pool with mountain views. The town of Banff offers cozy restaurants and shops, while Canmore nearby is a quieter base for exploring the region.
