Are you planning to visit Lake Louise or Moraine Lake this summer? 🏔️☀️
⚠️There are a few important updates and changes you need to know about!
🚌Shuttles:
Reservations open on April 18! Booking a seat on a Parks Canada shuttle is the best way to make the most of your time in Banff National Park and to guarantees the ability to see both iconic destinations in one day.
✨New this year ✨
The Alpine Start Shuttle is now an option aimed at climbers, scramblers or hikers who need earlier start times to complete their adventures. There will be two daily departures (4am and 5am). There are some important differences to note about how this new service will operate. Learn more on our website: https://ow.ly/Xjag50QZQXJ
🚗Parking:
Paid parking will be in effect at the Lake Louise Lakeshore from 3 am - 7 pm from May 17 to October 14, 2024. Parking rates are $36.75 for the day - no hourly parking is available.
This fee, along with fees collected from the shuttles, helps Parks Canada offset the costs of the traffic management program in the Lake Louise area. Parks Canada shuttles continue to offer another way for visitors to access the lakes. Youth under 18 ride for free, seniors’ tickets are half price, and tickets for adults are only $8.
🚧Construction:
Beginning in spring, Parks Canada will be making important improvements to Lake Louise Drive. These improvements are necessary to maintain and upgrade infrastructure for transit, vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians on this roadway that now hosts over one million vehicles each year. Visitors can expect significant traffic disruptions this summer due to construction: https://ow.ly/1G9U50QZQXK
📣Please plan ahead, take transit, and book shuttles before arriving. If you don’t have shuttle or transit tickets, please consider returning after securing reservations in advance.
