FAQ
-
Yes, you can technically drive your own car to Lake Louise, but we strongly recommend using the shuttle service instead. The parking lot fills up extremely quickly during peak season (especially summer mornings and weekends), and many visitors end up being turned around after making the drive up, which is frustrating and wastes precious vacation time.
When you do manage to find parking, fees will apply, but the bigger issue is that you might spend more time circling for a parking spot than actually enjoying the lake! The shuttle service is much more reliable and helps keep traffic flowing smoothly in the area, making the experience better for everyone.
