Moraine Lake

Moraine Lake is often missed by busy tourists, in favor of Lake Louise just down the road. Don’t be one of those – Moraine Lake is way better! The richness of colors visible from the closest viewpoints are far better at Lake Moraine.

In addition, it’s much easier to get a higher vantage point looking down over the lake, which means the stunning blue colors are even brighter. This just might be the most beautiful lake you’ll ever see.

Moraine Lake can be visited at any time of year, though bear in mind these two factors when planning your visit:

• The lake gets incredibly busy at peak times. If you’re thinking of visiting after 7.30am in peak season; expect traffic and queues.
• In winter the lake is frozen and covered with ice and snow, which means the lake isn’t aquamarine blue as you might be expecting!
