10 Tips for Lake Louise | Survival Guide
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Most beautiful place in Canada is hands down Lake Louise in Alberta with its azure blue waters and giant glaciers. I went for a 11 hours hike through rough terrain, snow, ice and steep climbs covering 17.3 kilometers. I was lucky not running into any flesh hungry bears during my solo hike on the way back down. It was a huge mistake not bringing bear spray.
You need a lot of stamina if you want to include the Abbot Pass Viewpoint, the Beehive and Lake Agnus in a one-day hike but trust me, it will be worth every drop of sweat!
My Survival Guide can be found on my blog: www.reformatt.c...
Together with my friends from Holland we spent an entire day at this mesmerizing place, and fortunately it being one of the best days of the year. Early June is highly recommended!
To confess; there was a moment when I thought of quitting but luckily was rescued and motivated by an experienced group of hikers.
My advice; do not swim in Lake Louise, the water is 5 degrees Celsius which could cause hypothermia in minutes.

Weird question I know you probably won't answer but do you know if there's any nearby pharmacies in lake Louise I'm going to be working over there soon and I can't seem to find any good information on online
Beautiful lake.thanks for useful comments.
Been in Montana 5yrs n habent seen Glacier yet but Alberta looks incredible
That view would have to be one of the most majestic views i've ever seen. Fcking amazing!
+1001 Rabid Tales this video doesn't do it justice, you need to see it with your own eyes!!
Thank for the advice. As you mentioned the Fairmont Hotel several times, I want to recommend the HI hostels at Lake Louise and Banff. Save tons of money and meet interesting people.
+Fred Martin that is a great tips, thanks for sharing ;) are you from the area?
I wish! I live down on the prairie in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan where there is a severe shortage of mountains, trees and ocean. The Rockies and west coast are clearly the most beautiful regions of Canada, not to be missed by visitors.
+Fred Martin I totally concur
amazing scenery. Canada is one of my dream destinations.
It is worth every penny, do the full Alberta tour, checkout my full Alberta travel guide
Same I wish I could go there one day
Beautiful lake
I just subscribed. I've always dreamed on visiting Alberta and this video added to my desire to be there already. Hope I can visit this year or next summer. Thanks for the video it was wonderful!
My pleasure! You will make it happen!!
@@Reformatt Thanks I really appreciate that you replied to my comment! And yeah thanks for the cheering I'll do it for sure! 😀
Thank you for this episode! You uploaded this video just in time! I'll be flying to Canada on Thursday to make a road trip through Alberta! Definitely one of the most beautiful places on earth in my opinion..
I'm looking forward to seeing the new episodes of your European adventures!!
+aircraft1223 thanks for the awesome feedback. I am glad it was useful :) the euro episodes will be worth waiting for ;) I promise
When I was there we were across the lake from a large waterfall that was fed by a glacier and we got to see a chunk of the glacier break off and fall into the lake. It was definitely something that I’m gonna have to go see again
Giardia is a possibility in the Canadian Rockies, even at higher elevations. Please don't refill your water from mountain streams.
Evange may I ask why
I have always been told they are safe to drink from
In other regions of the world it can often be assumed that fresh running water, where there is no human development to dump sewage upstream, is safe to drink. However in the Canadian rockies, animals can be carrying giardia, which can be passed to humans. This includes all animals, even those found exclusively at higher elevations (pikas, marmots, ptarmigans), and even water that appears clean and running can have fecal contamination from these animals.
I'd be more interested to know where you got the idea that drinking the water was safe? Nether Parks Canada nor Travel Alberta recommend drinking water from mountain streams, in fact both warn against it.
@@sarahd82 it is safe
Love swimming there so fun!
love your enthusiasm and clear video shots of the terrain yoh covered! thanks for sharing!
As a Canadian I feel terrible that they gouge tourists by charging $14 for sandwiches. That's probably at least 40% more than it would be anywhere else. I ended up buying a tea at Moraine Lake and I think it cost me around $5 when the very most it would cost anywhere else in Alberta is $2.50 so ya taking your own food to those places is good advice. You could easily stop at a grocery store in Canmore or even Banff and pick up some food to take for way cheaper!
Great video, great information, THANKS!
I am super happy you like the video
WOW thanks for the upload! The view is stunning!
Visiting mid Aug, from Saskatoon. Thanks for the tips

Thank you, are you visiting soon?
9 o clock at night? Still looks pretty bright outside.... Is that how it is at Canada?
certain parts, yes. Its a phenomenal place, would you ever consider visiting?
Reformatt Show Yeah. I'd consider visiting. Of course I'll be listening to all the advice you've given in this video lol. I'm from the US and I haven't traveled out of the country since I was very young. I went to Cambodia back then... Unfortunately I don't really remember much of my visit. I'd like to revisit it one day. Love your videos by the way.
+Kuro Usagi thanks :) I am happy you like my videos. And Canada is so close to the US, take a road trip :)
Depending on where you are from, Central Alberta's longest day of the year is pushing 17 hours of daylight. I think sunrise is around 5AM and sunset is after 10PM. They don;t call it Sunny Alberta for nothing :)
@@adampatterson Surely though its the opposite in winter though sun up at 10am and down at 5pm? I don't know just asking
Thanks for this video, love it! What is your accent? I love that too :-)
Nice video man! How could you afford all those trips?! Omg!
+Henry Chau working hard. Saving hard. Setting goals.
Mooi is het daar hè? Ik woon zelf in Canada, en na 4 jaar kijk ik Mn ogen nog steeds uit!
+cyano groot gelijk. Het blijft een mooi land. Ik woon hier al 13 jaar en nog steeds verliefd op z'n schoonheid.
Wauw, dat is een lange tijd. Waar in Nederland kom je vandaan? kun je me andere plekken aanraden in Canada? Ik vind Ontario niet zo heel veel aan..al woon ik er zelf lol.
+cyano ik kom oorspronkelijk uit ijmuiden. Ontario heeft heel veel moois. Voornamelijk Tobermory. Check my canada videos
Ik woon al 29 in Canada en nog steeds zie ik nieuwe dingen in de rockies
hi - was this is August or september? so beautiful planning on going there!
+MarFer11 Fernandez this was in June :) when the ice just started melting :) are you visiting soon?
planning to visit this summer - deciding between June or Late August! any suggestions! Love this survival guide!!! its going to be so helpful!
Quick question 10 1/2 miles is 17 km that is one way or both ways back to the hotel?
Probably one way. It is slow hiking when you have to go back and pick up one of your lungs every few steps :)
여기가 루이스 호수구나
유키구라모토가 이 호수에 영감을 받은건가... 정말 이쁘네요
Hi. What camera did you use?
a Sony NEX 5T
@@Reformatt This was a year ago haha but thanks

This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "survivalist" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Ryanzon Survival Genie - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.
+couch potato thanks for the advice. I will check it
Voice pitch: LOUD, adios!
Is that a compliment?
You can use credit card too at the tea house
