Lake Louise Village

The small gathering of shops in Samson Mall forms the heart of Lake Louise Village. It's little more than a small mall and not really a place to linger, rather a place to stock up, sort out and get out.

What makes it useful is the presence of the Lake Louise Visitor Centre; post office; bus and raft tour booking office; a general store; Laggan’s Mountain Bakery; an outdoor gear and bike store with rentals; a good bookshop; a laundrette; and public washrooms with showers. And there are a couple of cafes and restaurants in the Post Hotel and the Lake Louise Alpine Centre a hostel a short walk away.

Laggan’s Mountain Bakery
