At the lake for which it’s named, four kilometers (2.5 miles) from the valley floor, is super-luxurious Moraine Lake Lodge (Moraine Lake Rd., 403/522-3733 or 877/522-2777, www.morainelake.com, June-Sept., $545-785 s or d). Designed by renowned architect Arthur Erickson, the lodge is a bastion of understated charm, partially obscured from the masses of day-trippers who visit the area and yet taking full advantage of its location beside one of the world’s most-photographed lakes. The decor reflects the wilderness location, with an abundance of polished log work and solid, practical furnishings in heritage-themed rooms. The rooms have no TVs or phones; instead, guests take guided nature walks, have unlimited use of canoes, and are pampered with gourmet breakfast and afternoon tea.

The famously fabulous Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise (111 Lake Louise Dr., 403/522-3511 or 866/540-4413, www.fairmont.com, from $699), a historic 500-room hotel on the shore of Lake Louise, has views equal to any mountain resort in the world. But all this historic charm and mountain scenery comes at a price. Rooms on the Fairmont Gold Floor come with a private concierge and upgraded everything for a little over $1,000. Official rates drop as low as $350 s or d outside of summer, with accommodation and ski pass packages sometimes advertised for around $400 d. Children younger than 18 sharing with parents are free, but if you bring a pet, it’ll be an extra $40.
