Discover Lake Louise, Alberta—often called the "Jewel of the Canadian Rockies" and one of the most photographed lakes in the world. Nestled within Banff National Park at an elevation of 1,750 metres, Lake Louise captivates visitors with its impossibly turquoise glacial waters fed by meltwater from the Victoria Glacier. As you piece together this puzzle, you'll spot the magnificent Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, a castle-like hotel that has welcomed guests since 1890 and stands as an iconic landmark on the lakeshore. You'll also uncover the Basin Glacial Waters seating area at the Chateau, where visitors gather around fire features to enjoy the mountain views in comfort, the Lake Louise Gondola soaring overhead offering breathtaking panoramic vistas, and the famous red canoes that dot the turquoise waters where paddlers glide across the mirror-like surface.

The puzzle captures a moose representing the diverse wildlife that inhabits the area—from moose and elk to black bears and grizzlies that roam the surrounding forests and alpine meadows.

You'll find the dramatic Johnston Canyon with its thundering waterfalls and famous suspended catwalks that allow hikers to traverse alongside the rushing waters through limestone canyon walls, the scenic Lakeshore Trail where visitors stroll along the water's edge, the Natural Bridge where the Kicking Horse River has carved through solid rock, and vibrant wildflowers including Indian paintbrush and alpine forget-me-nots that bloom in summer. Lake Louise is best experienced during the summer months when the lake is ice-free, hiking trails like Johnston Canyon open to reveal stunning waterfalls, and the Basin Glacial Waters retreat offers the perfect spot to relax by the fire after a day of exploration, though winter transforms the area into a magical ice palace.

This alpine paradise represents the perfect mountain escape, where visitors can paddle the turquoise waters in the morning, hike the catwalks of Johnston Canyon to witness cascading waterfalls, ride the gondola to panoramic viewpoints, and gather around the fire features at Basin Glacial Waters as the sun sets over the peaks. Whether you're drawn to the iconic Chateau, the brilliant turquoise waters, the dramatic canyon waterfalls, or the promise of wildlife encounters along mountain trails, Lake Louise embodies the breathtaking beauty of the Canadian Rockies.

Care Instructions

It's important that you should care for your fine art prints just as you would any delicate and valuable artwork. With proper handling, your prints will remain in pristine condition for many years to come.

Follow these recommendations:

Handling
Natural skin oils or other contaminants can easily transfer to the print. As a preventative measure, we recommend washing your hands before touching the print. Use both hands and support the back of the print when picking it up.
Never attempt to rub the surface of the image with your finger or fingernail as this could scratch the surface of the print.

Exposure to Elements
Keep your print out of direct sunlight. Even the best quality materials are subject to cracking or fading if exposed to prolonged periods of sunlight. Although normal incandescent light bulbs do not present a problem, fluorescent lights do emit harmful ultraviolet rays.
Hang your print away from areas where airborne grime, dust and pollutants such as cigarette smoke can leave a discolouring residue.
Avoid extreme fluctuations in moisture and temperature. Excessive fluctuations between dryness and humidity, or extreme heat and cold can negatively affect the state of your print. Museums keep the temperature generally around 18 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity of 40%. If the humidity is too high, be on the lookout for mold.

Framing
When framing your print use a good quality glass specifically designed for protecting fine art and photographic images. We also recommend using an acid-free archival mat to prevent the print and glass from touching. Like many artworks, an original is sensitive to light. Please ensure that your framer uses UV resistant/museum glass when framing. This glass will protect the artwork against direct or indirect light for years to come.

Storage
To prevent accidents, store your print away from anything that might press against the image surface. Some objects may not seem sharp enough to damage the print, but you'd be surprised at what will cause a scratch, a tear, or a rip.
Do not stack prints on top of each other. Separate them with pieces of acid-free paper to avoid damage.
Wrap your print well if you plan to transport it. Be sure to put a piece of acid-free paper over the front to protect the print. Rough handling can damage the print so pack it securely.
Do not cover your print with plastic for long periods of time. If there is humidity in the air, the mold may begin to grow. Cotton, acid-free sheets are the best for keeping dust away.

Cleaning
The print should be dusted with a clean, soft rag, to prevent dust buildup. Never use cleaning products or water as this may permanently damage the print.
Do not blow on your print as you may inadvertently deposit water droplets that can mark your print.
If using compressed air, apply short bursts while keeping the nozzle at least 12" back from the face of the print.
