Lake Louise Shuttle
The best way to access Lake Louise in the summer is via the Parks Canada shuttle service. Parking is extremely limited at Lake Louise and paid parking is in effect from May to October.
Reserve your shuttle ticket and park your vehicle at the Park and Ride, located at the Lake Louise Ski Resort. One ticket gives you the flexibility to see both Moraine Lake and Lake Louise in the same day or spend the day exploring one lake - the choice is yours!
