Moraine Lake & Lake Louise
Paid parking at Lake Louise is limited, and access to Moraine Lake is closed to private vehicles-- alternate transportation must be arranged. Visitors can reach both Lake Louise and Moraine Lake by using the Parks Canada Shuttle, Roam Transit, taxi services, or guided tour operators.

The Parks Canada Shuttle operates on a reservation system during the summer season, with bookings opening on April 15, 2026. A portion of seats are also released 2 days prior to the travel date at 8:00 AM, which can be helpful for last-minute planning.
​
Roam Transit is another convenient option, offering reservable seats with their summer system released in phases. Reservations can be made in advance and are highly recommended. By purchasing a "Super Pass", guests also gain access to the Lake Connector Shuttle operated by Parks Canada, which runs between Lake Louise and Moraine Lake.
