Lake Louise Teahouses

- Plain of Six Glaciers Teahouse Hike (11 km total; elevation gain: 365m)
- Lake Agnes Teahouse Hike (7 km total; elevation gain: 385m)
- Both Teahouses connected via the Highline Trail (14 km total; elevation gain: 820m)
All hikes begin at the Lake Louise lakeshore and are considered classic excursions in the Rockies. The paths are shared with other hikers and horses, offering a true mountain experience. Ascending above the tree line rewards you with stunning views of Lake Louise. Along the way, your guide will share tales of the historic teahouses. We recommend bringing a lunch due to the potential busyness of the teahouses, though there might be an opportunity to stop for tea or a treat, depending on our timing.
