The view from the lakeshore is known the world over. Prepare for crowds! But walk half a kilometre along the shore to leave the crowds behind. Public parking: Keep left at the Chateau Lake Louise junction.
Go before 10 am or after 5 pm to avoid the crowds. A private shuttle service operates from the village. Road closed early October to late May. Check Ahead: Hikers must be in a group of six or more when grizzly bears are using habitat in Larch, Consolation and Paradise valleys.
