The air is still and there is not a sound, other than the gentle splash as the oars hit the water and the canoe gently glides towards the Chateau on the turquoise glacial water of Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada
We stayed at Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise and the scene outside our window is spectacular, the water of the Lake is reflecting the snow capped mountains in the distance and conifers that line the lake. It is summer when we visit, so we were lucky to see any snow at all. Hiking to the bottom of the melting Victoria Glacier, we stop to admire the beautiful wild flowers, we have a little squirrel decide to stop us looking for a feed.
