Lake Agnes Tea House Trail Self-Guided Audio Nature Tour

Follow the Lake Agnes Tea House Trail on a self-guided audio nature tour that plays through your smartphone.

Across 19 GPS-triggered stops on this seven-kilometre out-and-back hike, discover Lake Louise, the Fairmont Chateau, Victoria Glacier, Mirror Lake, Lake Agnes and its tea house. Hear stories about Banff National Park, mountain geology, alpine plants, wildlife and Indigenous connections to the landscape.

Audio plays automatically near each point of interest, while the live map shows your location and route. Download the tour over Wi-Fi before you begin, then hike without using mobile data.

Allow two to three hours, or longer for rest stops, photos or refreshments. The trail climbs steadily on uneven mountain terrain and returns to Lake Louise.

There is no group, fixed departure time or in-person guide. The tea house operates seasonally, and the route is not considered safe during winter and spring avalanche conditions. Check Parks Canada trail notices before setting out.
