Local time UTC-6Checked 0 viewsHDNature

This live camera looks out over the Lake Louise area in Alberta's Canadian Rockies, a mountain resort village at about 2,400 metres. Watch it to judge conditions on the peaks and valley before planning a hike, a drive or a day on the lake shore.

About Lake Louise

Lake Louise sits in Banff National Park, in the Bow Valley of the Rockies. The village is best known for its glacier-fed turquoise lake, backed by steep mountain walls and the Victoria Glacier. Its high elevation means the seasons arrive early and leave late, and the air can change quickly from calm sunshine to cold wind. The surrounding park is one of Canada's most visited wilderness areas.

What the camera shows

The view is a nature camera, so the main interest is the mountain scenery and the sky above the valley. Depending on the angle, you may see changing cloud cover, snow on the high ridges, and the light moving across the peaks through the day. Early morning and late afternoon often bring the strongest colour to the rock, while summer clouds can build quickly over the afternoon.

Planning a visit

Summer, roughly June to September, is the main season for hiking and paddling, while winter brings skiing and snowshoeing. Expect cool nights even in summer and check the live weather on this page before setting out. Nearby, Banff lies about 49 kilometres down the valley, and the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is a short distance away, with its own camera on this site.
