HI-Lake Louise Alpine Centre

Overview

HI-Lake Louise Alpine Centre is Hostelling International's flagship mountain hostel, offering 164 beds in a stunning timber-frame building surrounded by the peaks of Lake Louise. The hostel caters to both budget-conscious backpackers in shared dorms and those seeking more privacy in small private rooms. The large communal kitchen is well-equipped for self-catering, and the cozy fireplace lounge is the perfect place to swap trail stories with fellow travellers.
