Lake Louise Summer Shuttles
Everything you need to know about how to get around and see the famous lakes!
Book Your Shuttle to Lake Louise & Moraine Lake
Lake Louise and Moraine Lake are highly popular in peak season when parking lots fill up before sunrise. You will need to reserve a Parks Canada shuttle seat to ensure a safe and seamless adventure. Together with the direct shuttles to each lake from the park and ride, a service running between Lake Louise and Moraine Lake means the Parks Canada shuttle is the best way to guarantee you see both lakes in one day. No walk-up seating is available: you must book your shuttle seat in advance.
Please refer to the shuttle information pages below for everything you need to know in advance.
