The beauty of Lake Louise in winter is undeniable.
Walk through an alley of snow-covered pines to the edge of the lake. Families skate hand-in-hand and the view stretches back to the stunning Victoria Glacier which rises over the lake like a frozen guardian.
Full of remarkable natural ice sculptures, the shore of Lake Louise is also home to the world’s most scenic ice carving competition - The Ice Magic Festival - which takes over Lake Louise from January 19 - 30, 2022.
Here are 6 reasons you’ll want to visit Ice Magic Festival this January:
