The Moraine Lake sunrise that rewires you.
That moment when the first light hits the Ten Peaks and the turquoise water turns liquid gold. It’s the kind of sunrise that stops your heart, then quietly rewires it. On this Moraine Lake sunrise tour, we get you there while Banff is still asleep, and your guide takes you to the best spot to watch it all unfold. With a hot drink in hand, enjoy the sunrise as the peaks light up one by one. Just a small group and a sunrise most people never get to experience in their lifetime.
After sunrise, we continue to Lake Louise. Stroll the lakeshore, capture postcard-perfect reflections, or slide out onto the water in a canoe. Your guide stays with you throughout, and a picnic breakfast from Bare Bistro café is waiting whenever you’re ready.
For the ones who believe some moments are worth waking up early for.
- Hotel pickup and drop-off at select Banff and Lake Louise locations
Staggered pick-ups from 3:30 AM in Banff and 4:50 AM in Lake Louise. Catch a few extra ZZZs, spot wildlife grazing at dawn, or watch the first light reveal the Rockies as your guide sets the scene on the way to Moraine Lake for sunrise.
Your guide leads you safely by headlamp to a spectacular viewpoint for sunrise over the Valley of the Ten Peaks. Sip a hot drink as your guide shares the valley’s history and ecology, and offers photography tips for the perfect shot. Most guests stay 1.5 to 2 hours, with time to explore the lakeshore trails.
After the sunrise, breakfast is included: a breakfast croissant and freshly brewed coffee, packed and ready whenever you are. Just show up hungry.
The morning calm is still yours, before the afternoon crowds arrive. Walk the lakeshore, chase down the hidden viewpoints, or rent a canoe and get out on the glacier-fed water while it’s still calm. Or just stand at the edge of something that doesn’t look real. Your guide is with you the whole way.
Take time to explore the famous grounds of the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, a historic luxury hotel nestled at the lake's edge, with iconic views, alpine architecture, and charming walking paths.
After a morning of incredible scenery and memories, relax on the ride back to Banff. We'll return you to Banff with plenty of time left to enjoy your day in the Rockies.
