Moraine Lake Lodge

Moraine Lake Lodge sits only a few steps from the shoreline of one of the most photographed lakes in Canada, and the setting is a large part of its appeal. The lodge was designed with the landscape in mind, using natural materials, warm tones and hand crafted furniture to create a space that feels calm and connected to its surroundings. It is a peaceful place to stay, with the stillness of the valley adding to the experience.

Rooms are comfortable and inviting, each with a patio or balcony that looks towards the lake or the neighbouring peaks. In keeping with the atmosphere of the lodge, there are no televisions or telephones in the rooms, although complimentary Wi Fi is available throughout. It is the kind of place where you naturally slow down, whether you are reading by the fire or sitting outside with the cool mountain air drifting in.

Breakfast is included, along with afternoon tea and coffee, and guests can join guided hikes with the resident naturalist. Canoe hire is also part of your stay, which gives you the rare chance to paddle across Moraine Lake early or late in the day when the light is soft and the water is at its most beautiful.

With direct access to the lakeshore and the surrounding trails, Moraine Lake Lodge is a lovely option for travellers looking for a quiet and scenic base within Banff National Park.
