Moraine Lake Lodge

Banff National Park calls out to be explored, whether that’s on trekking, biking or kayaking excursions, and Moraine Lake Lodge is prime for such an active Canadian getaway. Simply head out from the hotel and into the wild on meandering trails, or jump into a canoe from the jetty and paddle off along the jewel-like water of Moraine Lake, with the jagged peaks of the Rockies piercing the sky above you. It’s not just ideal for active types though, as the cosy atmosphere encourages peaceful relaxation for one and all who stay at this rustic-style lodge. Awash with wood-burning fireplaces, stone walls and locally sourced furnishings, this rural bolt-hole blends in beautifully to its surroundings, and a commitment to eco initiatives further enhances this respect for the environment. Take time to settle down with a book from the library, or admire the captivating views over a complimentary afternoon tea, perhaps sharing stories with like-minded, equally wide-eyed guests, and getting to know the wonderful, passionate staff.
