Mount Rundle and Alpenglow

Vermilion Lakes, located immediately west of Banff, are three stunning lakes surrounded by the beauty of the Canadian Rockies. Many refer to the lakes as a ‘nature lover’s paradise’ and it is easy to see why.

The three lakes are in the Bow River Valley and below Mount Norquay. The area around the lakes are considered wetlands and spanning 440 hectares (1087 acres). The still and calm waters of the lakes reflect the iconic Mount Rundle on their surface. The lakes lie just 2.4 kilometres (1.5 miles) from Banff town (between the Trans-Canada Highway and the Canadian Pacific Railway) making them incredibly easy to visit.
