Embark on a private hiking adventure to Lake Agnes and experience the dramatic mountain landscape of Banff National Park up close. Beginning along the shores of iconic Lake Louise, you’ll follow a scenic mountain trail through subalpine forest, with ever-changing views of the surrounding peaks and Lake Louise below. Your local guide brings the landscape to life through stories, natural history, and interpretation, while tailoring the pace and experience to your group. The reward is Lake Agnes itself, a beautiful alpine lake tucked beneath the surrounding peaks, with the historic Lake Agnes Tea House perched along its shore. This is more than a hike; it’s a personalized opportunity to explore, connect with the landscape, and experience one of the Rockies’ classic mountain trails away from the feeling of a typical group tour. Lake goes is accessible to active hikers of varying ages and abilities. Does require some fitness and sure footing.

Throughout the ascent, stop to admire panoramic viewpoints and take photos of the iconic lakes below. While guide services are included to navigate the trail safely, travelers should bring their own water and personal refreshments for the hike.
