#LuxeLove – Romantic Getaway to Lake Louise
Canada’s Western Mountains are home to four beautiful destinations that contain everything required for a romantic getaway. Whether you’re looking to get away for a Valentine’s Day long weekend or to celebrate your love some other time in February, we’ve put together romantic recommendations for Jasper, Whistler, Banff and Lake Louise. All you have to do is choose!
Planning a Romantic Getaway to Lake Louise?
From skating on a frozen lake framed by majestic peaks to sharing intimate meals by the fire, Lake Louise promises a winter escape that feels straight out of a fairytale.
Stay: Lakeside elegance at Fairmont chateau Lake louise
Perfectly positioned along the shores of the iconic lake, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise offers a romantic mountain retreat with breathtaking views of the Victoria Glacier. In winter, the lake transforms into a sparkling ice rink, while cozy accommodations and world-class service create the ideal atmosphere for couples.
Explore: starlit adventures with mountain guides
The Chateau’s Mountain Adventure Guides have extraordinary knowledge of the local trails and offer a variety of guided activities, but for romance, you’ll want to experience the Night Owl Snowshoe. Departing after dark, you’ll journey into the woods on snowshoes, discover the stillness of night and spy a few of the nocturnal inhabitants. If the skies are clear, the guides will take the time to show you some of the great constellations that wheel overhead such as, Cassiopeia, the Great Bear and Orion the Hunter.
Play: skate the world’s most scenic Ice rink
The frozen surface of Lake Louise becomes a stunning ice rink each winter, complete with a nearby ice bar. Framed by the towering peaks of the Rockies and the Victoria Glacier, this is a bucket-list experience for couples seeking unforgettable moments. Take a break by the lakeside fire pit with a cup of hot chocolate before returning to the ice.
Dine: intimate culinary delights
Indulge in romance-infused dining experiences:
- Fairview Bar: Savor seasonal Rocky Mountain–inspired dishes and classic cocktails in an elegant setting with unparalleled views of the frozen lake and glacier.
- Walliser Stube: For a cozy and indulgent evening, retreat to this intimate dining room and share a decadent fondue experience—cheese, Chinoise, or chocolate, paired with a fine BC wine.
Pro Tip: Reserve a table by the window at Fairview or opt for a secluded corner at Walliser Stube for an extra romantic touch.
