The Village of Lake Louise is on the Trans-Canada Highway, 57 kilometres west of Banff. The Village is small and quiet, yet offers a range of shops and services.  The Samson Mall, an outdoor mall featuring approximately 15 shops, restaurants and services, is a short walk from the Lake Louise Inn.

Treat yourself and stop by Laggan Mountain Bakery and Deli for an espresso and a taste of their irresistible fresh baked goods.  Or browse through Woodruff & Blum Booksellers for the latest bestseller or a souvenir photo book.  You will also find unique west coast Native art, pottery and Canadian handcrafted goods at the specialty gift shops.

Planning your Mountain Escape is easy, when travel amenities are close at hand.  With a local grocery store, liquor store, photo shop, bank and post office, you can pick up fresh fruit for your room and accessories for your camera right in the Village. You can also be outfitted for your Mountain Escape hiking adventure at Wilson Mountain Sports, where a wide selection of clothing and equipment is available for rental or purchase.
