Take a stroll around the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, a peaceful and romantic retreat.
Next, head to Moraine Lake (60 minutes). Surrounded by the Ten Peaks, this lake's deep blue water, like a gemstone, is often referred to as "one of the most photogenic lakes in the world." From a small hill by the lake, it feels like stepping into a fairyland.
Afterward, enjoy lunch at Lake Louise Village (optional, 45 minutes). Indulge in local specialties while savoring the tranquility of this charming town. After lunch, pass by Bow Lake (20 minutes), a glacial lake with crystal-clear, mirror-like water reflecting the surrounding mountains—a dazzling gem of the Rockies.

After breakfast, leave the hotel in Jasper and head first to Pyramid Lake, where the pyramid-shaped peaks are reflected in the calm waters of the lake, creating a picturesque scene as if you've stepped into a painting. Next, proceed to the Maligne Canyon, the longest and deepest canyon in the Rocky Mountains. Formed by glacial erosion, it features deep rock cliffs that are captivating. Then, visit the Athabasca Falls, shaped by melting snow and ice. Standing on the cliffs, you can feel the water cascading down like a mighty army, with the sound of the water echoing all around.
Next, visit Peyto Lake (if maintenance or other uncontrollable factors close the area, it will be replaced by a visit to Waterflow Lake). The lake, shaped like a maple leaf, is a brilliant blue jewel nestled in the Rocky Mountain valley. Along the way, pass Waterflow Lake, and enjoy views of Crowfoot Glacier. Continue to Yoho National Park, where you will arrive at the serene Emerald Lake. Here, red canoes gently ripple the tranquil waters. Next, head to the Natural Bridge, formed by the accumulation of water from the kicking horse river. The riverbed, alongside the towering pines and distant mountains, creates a beautiful picture. After stopping in Banff Town, return to Calgary.
