Lake Louis in Banff National Park probably belongs to the most-visited mountain lakes in the Canadian Rockies. The Stoney Indians named it the "lake of the small fish". The two-kilometer long lake reflects the glaciered mountain summits of the surroundings. One of them is Mount Victoria, with a height of 3459 meters. The lake is named after the daughter of the English Queen Victoria. A Grand Hotel which looks like a castle was already built on the banks of the lake in 1890 by the Canadian Pacific Railroad. After a fire, it had to be rebuilt in 1924. Next to the hotel, the trail to the Plain of Six Glaciers begins. |
