Banff-Lake Louise Graced with Royal Visit

Jul 7th, 2011: BANFF-LAKE LOUISE, Alberta, Canada

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge landed in Banff National Park to take some much needed R&R. Their first visit to Canada has been a whirlwind of social obligations, so what better place to relax than in Banff National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Banff National Park is an attractive holiday destination with many popular activities such as hiking, biking and skiing. Will and Kate are spending some time at the beautiful historic Skoki Lodge in Lake Louise.

The National Historic Site is an ideal summer or winter destination and offers stunning views of the Canadian Rockies. The lodge was the first of its kind built to cater to skiers in Canada and possibly North America, a tradition we have seen grow in popularity over the years. Will and Kate will be flying into the lodge to take in some beautiful alpine scenery before spending some time at the Calgary Stampede.
