I am Canadian yet I, sometimes, can't help but be speechless at the spectacular beauty of my country. So humbly proud. So proudly grateful.
❤️ 🇨🇦
Came to Canada on honeymoon nearly 28 years ago and moved here to Alberta 25 years ago, we love the Rockies and will always be a favourite, although 12 years ago we moved to Vancouver island and just love the scenery.
I was lucky enough to drive from Montreal to Vancouver many years ago with a friend........it was just at the end of September and when we arrived in Banff the first thing we did was go to Lake Moraine and see The Seven Sisters, which are the 7 peaks that are there and used to be on the back of old Canadian $20 bills........I wept and to this day was one of the most spectacular things I have ever seen...................
Also I find the choice of music playing during these videos DOESN'T interfere with the experience itself. I truly appreciate that.
My mother was born and raised in Alberta. Moraine Lake was her favorite of an incredible chain of Rockie Moutain wonders in Alberta !
I used to work there and woke up to this view daily. It was awesome!
I can imagine. Must be awesome to spend part of your life that majestic environment!
LOL I used to live/work there as well. Back in 1991 when the new lodge was being built. Did you hear the story of the fire? That was a local who did that looking for me. I used to rescue Americans caught in the wind on the other side of the lake...solo.
@@BeeRich33 I did not hear. I was there in 86.
I keep coming back to this video as a way to remind myself that I must visit this place, at least once in my life.
I have lived in Canada all my life, and am still mogadored by the eye popping beauty. No wonder so many folks from around the world come here.

Never heard the word mogadored before. Had to look it up. You're right..anyone would get floored by this scenery!
@@SS-ix3cb I first came across mogadored in a terry Pratchett book.
As a former operator of an EcoTourism b business based out of Canmore, I was blessed with offering tours to this wonderful piece of Paradise. The rockpile is where I learned how to master my meditation skills. If you thought the scenery was bucolic before you meditated after you open your eyes it was 1000 X's more!
It's been about 20 years since I visited Moraine Lake. I have been there twice. The first time was late July. Arrived at the lake in early afternoon on a bright sunny day. As we walked up to the lake from the parking area below, it took my breath away as we first saw the lake and the mountain peaks going straight up from the lake to the sky. The most beautiful place I have ever been.
I'm in awe at these natural settings you've captured. I loved your Banff Springs Hotel vid, too, very much! I had no idea that vacationing in luxury could be done on a budget until I ventured to Quebec City and stayed at Le Chateau Frontenac years back. For some reason, I thought that Banff would be out of reach -- now I know it is not, but it's your vids that revealed this great news! I'm now planning a trip to the Banff Springs Hotel.
How wonderful. An hour’s drive from my home. Been to the public areas but nice to know what the lodge is like. Thank you and I hope you enjoyed our Canadian experience.
Hi. Magnifique pays le Canada, merci pour la visite
Wow! The setting is truly breathtaking! 😲
Lake Moraine is spectacular indeed
I`ve fallen in love with this place and thats just with this short little film. Me personally i`d would always choose the Rockies for a holiday than anywhere else. Thanks for the posting of the film.
I was there 3 months ago, gorgeous!!!
Now you were there ten months ago
Yes, a place more like it for me, open, casual, You do not have to worry about something get broken or a dirt a bit. It feels more like home, that cabin -but in style, one can just relax and enjoy the stay,and not alone but with others for company.
Going there this September. I know I am going to love it. Just so beautiful!
Enjoy your stay. And I hope you will get to see some grizzlies ... from a safe distance :-)
beautiful scenery ..wow!
I was in that area (not the hotel/lodge) many years ago. Just as beautiful as I remember it.
For years we brought our kids to Banff , lake Louis. Loved it ! I still say the Canadian Rockies are better than even Europe.
I agree ☝️
AWESOME LOGDE AND WONDERFUL LANDSCAPE
Wow love this place little sky on the earth, i want to goooooooooo...! thank you for this amazing gift Luxury travel Expert!
I live in a beautiful area, but I remember thinking when I was there nearly 40 years ago that this was on another level beautiful. Definitely time to return. I'll just have to be prepared for a major increase in the amount of tourists since 1981 lol,.
Amazing !! Bravo !
Very impressive video, perfectly shooted and one more place to go on my bucket list :)
I was updating TH-cam on my phone 4 to 5 Times every day for the past 10 days, waiting for the new one :))
Thanks to you I've spent a week end at the Rosewood in London, inspires by your video (as I love the Shanghai La at the Shard) but it was amazing !! Love the place !! And the Scarfes bar! So Nice !!! Thanks for the inspiration :)
I'm really a huge fan, for about a year now :)
Wow! Thanks so much for the compliment and the great comment. I am glad you enjoyed the Rosewood (my favorite hotel in London indeed). I am a bit irregular in posting clips at the moment since I am traveling in the Seychelles and South Africa, but in two weeks I should be back on the old schedule of one new clip each Saturday. Happy and safe travels!
Wow nice place I’m proud to be a Canadian...
I loved the video. Thanks for posting!
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING NATURE AT ITS BEST. 👌👌👍👍🙏🙏
Beautiful as always!
Hi nice video! Hope you enjoyed your stay in Alberta! The views are second to none. Hope to see you again soon.
Wow nice review! Moraine Lake is a great area, and I've always wanted know what the lodge was like
thank you
All your clips are my dreams 😭😭😭.
Calamari looks good. I typically love Calamari. Generous portion sizes too.
I worked at the Moraine Lake Lodge summer of 86 and 87....it was a hell of a lot smaller then....I am gobsmaked looking at this video...wow apparenttly Grizzlies still a serious problem there
Grizzly bears ! you gotta love a place with a little danger .
Wow looks fantastic
I wanna be there !
Great vid. Thanks for posting.
You're welcome
:O Your Panna Cotta was moving lol.
This is beautiful...bucket list
When things eventually return to normal, you should try staying (and filming) at this resort during the depths of winter, when it is covered with feet of snow and ice. That would be interesting to see. That applies to all the other resorts you filmed in western Canada too.
Due to avalanche risk in the road that leads up to the lake the lodge is open only from June 1st to October 1st. Although technically you can still access the area as I don't believe it's closed off you'd have to do so by hiking / biking / snowshoe / ski.
Hoping to go in 2023
lake is 41 degrees in the summer? holy cow
Glacial meltwater.
thank you so much for a tour! def will go there someday..
First , btw I really enjoyed the 3 nights stay at the PH Vienna , gr8 service & location
Glad you enjoyed it! It's my favorite hotel in Vienna ...
This is the type of “luxury” I enjoy the most.
A little ironic that this is in Canada but yet ( at $700/ night ) financially out of reach for the average Canadian.
Agreed. As an albertan i would love to enjoy places like this once in a while, but they are only for rich tourists. I have to battle the crowds if i want to visit too. I cant remember the last time i visited this beautiful place.
Now its 1.500$ a night
@@dilljordan7303 Wow that is just wow! Can guests still drive there or have to be shuttled in? I know they were talking about shutting down the road to the public.
Lake O'Hara is $860/ night for the lodge, and $1215 / night for a cabin, and have to be shuttled in.
@@bdsmith674 No way!! Its 860 for the Lodge… crazy hah
Lake O’Hara is beautiful but Valley of 10’peaks is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my life..
Guests can still use their own vehicles to get there- the road is shut down for general tourists (they can still use a bus).
Awesome..
Hope one day be here..
Another stunning video...THANK YOU!!
Hi, which song did you use on epidemic for the lodge room tour section? great video btw
The song is 'Elation 3' by Composer Patrik Almkvisth
Hi, what time of year were you here? considering a trip in mid-June, don't want lakes frozen.
Such a beautiful place I'd love to visit
Are there any pet-friendly accommodations at moraine lake?
Have you stayed at Cathedral Mountain Lodges? I would love to hear your opinion/thoughts on it. :)
Why do you like this better than the Chateau Lake Louise or the Banff Springs Hotel? We stayed at the latter two years ago and loved it.
drive up in the morning.. 700 per night is insane
Did you mean canoeing. On the lake. Your photo was of canoes. Alberta is my home , we’ve been many times. The canoes are wonderful
Espectacular.
Благодарю за такую красоту! С удовольствием подписалась на Ваш канал
Great!
Bears are no problem. Just bring a friend you're faster than.
Great strategy for the zombie apocalypse as well
Excellent presentation!!
We were there in 2005
Can we reach this place by public transportation??
The Hotel is amazing but $ 700 cad rate?
En juin 2015 j'ai dormi une nuit dans cet hôtel magnifique dans un site merveilleux
Il dissipe le jour
Il est dur comme la pierre
La pierre informe
Du mouvement et de la vue
Le ciel est sa vérité philosophiques
L'homme sa réalité
Tu est là pour illuminer l'amour et la vie .les feuilles cachées les jeunes ruisseaux sortent de l'herbe fraîche
Les couleurs brûlent puis l'automne courtise ardemment l'hiver vierge .tu est l'ivresse couleurs de mes lèvres
It's so gorgeous country Canada and Canadian people very hospitality respect they're have nice character personality I live in London but very rubbish nothing special and I would love to move on Canada gir live soon 🇨🇦🌺🌹🌺🇨🇦
How can i get there from Calgary?there's a daily transport ?and what about accommodation???
Tout m'y parle des paysages aux intimes accents .
Dont les parfums mots les sens les bruits les torrents les douces images
Vieux souvenirs dormant au fond de nous
Chaque pierre à un nom
Ces lieux sont encore pleins de fastes
Îles de jour Dont la pensée adorée
Dans le miroir des lacs qui dorment.
Tiède azur limpide eaux
Gerard, avez vous ecris ce texte,quelle plume!
Makes me want to go back. I know on-video text cannot be corrected but spell check at 3:08 - *Feel
Oops, thx for catching that. Too bad I cannot change it anymore.
what temperature is that water in winter??
Frozen
Frozen for six or seven months of the year.
My guess is you're not a Canadian or an outdoors person. The kayaks in your video are what we Canucks call "canoes" and just how many lodges and hotels have you checked out in the Canadian Rockies? There are dozens as or more beautiful than this one, more serene, just as picturesque, with better cusine and amenities without being tourist traps. Moraine Lake Lodge is certainly nice enough but I would rate it at only 3 1/2 stars and believe for the value offered, it is over-priced.
Mike I totally agree...nice place, but value for the money is way overpriced....I was just about to write the same thing...."what we Canucks call "canoes"....😊
Mike Clarke It'd be great if you could share the names of better ones with me. It's such a nice log except price.
Beautiful
Неее. Там холодно)))
У нас в России тоже есть и горы и озёра и холода.....
Лучше туда, где всегда тепло!
So person can't bring their own kayak and go for a dip ?
You said kayaking is only for overnight staying tourists ?
Roman S sure you can, you just can’t rent theirs unless you stay there. They don’t own the lake
Why present this place for "The Luxury Travel Expert"???
Because it's one of my favorite lodges :)
I remember I have to come here to remove the lead paint from these cabins.
Do you have a Utah location?
I wish
sad you are showing the inside of this lodge, the magnificent beauty is outside!!

Don't come to this lake from October to May because it's totally frozen and the access road is closed!!
Kingston canada
Beautiful but very tough to get in the parking lot these days... check my video aswell
You did not show much of the main attraction, THE LAKE!
too many grizzlys,wouldnt hike there
There's never been a grizzly attack there. In fact bear attacks are rare, black bears are what I would be more concerned about. No Grizzly is going to be startled coming near the lake. They can hear the people, also they're not about to bring cubs near the lake. Startling and cubs are the biggest reason for bear attacks. It's a national park. You're going to see a lot of wildlife.
beautiful place but every thing inside resort are a very small and not comfortable!!!
Bad design
Hosam S.b I thought It was only me thinking exactly the same thing! Design is so hard to look at
Bravo! Pozivamo Vas na naš kanal. We invite you to our letter and wine channel.
Is there big game hunting there? Is there wild animal food on the menu? Is there vegetarian options? Do playlist pee in the lake?
Second Comment
Boring.. Trim it down to a 5 minute video. Enough of the camera passing over insignificant items.
Gee what a "great" commercial!
Somehow I believe you are a lottery winner who reminds anonymous. your view to income ratio doesn't add up to prove you depend on youtube income for luxury traveling around the world.
