"The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is cozied up alongside the impossible, blue glacial waters of the lake whose name it bears. It's a majestic setting, and during the long winter, those pristine waters freeze solid into an ice sheet you can walk over. The Canadian Rockies can be frigid at such times, but the resort knows how to fix you up within its old-school, wood-paneled Walliser Stube restaurant. The answer, of course, is a bubbling bowl of molten cheese."
"Walliser Stube is renowned for its fondue, and lucky diners may be able to score a recipe to make it at home. Its signature three-cheese rendition, flavored with garlic, kirsch, white wine and nutmeg, comes with an array of dippers in the form of bread, baby potatoes, pickles and vegetables, and is best paired with a crisp, dry glass of Riesling. But the fairy tale setting is what turns a wonderful, warming meal into an iconic and unforgettable one."
"Located about 90 minutes west of Calgary, it's one of the world's most sought-after hiking locales in the summer, and a bustling skiing hub during the winter. The town itself has some 8,000 residents yet Banff National Park - incorporating the town, the surrounding mountains and valleys, and areas such as Lake Louise - pulls in about four million annual visitors. It's a staggering ratio."
The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise sits beside vivid blue glacial waters that freeze into a walkable ice sheet in winter. Walliser Stube serves a signature three-cheese fondue flavored with garlic, kirsch, white wine and nutmeg, accompanied by bread, baby potatoes, pickles and vegetables, and paired with a crisp, dry Riesling. Banff is a premier year-round destination for hiking and skiing, with a small town population and about four million annual visitors to Banff National Park. The town's compact downtown now supports a rapidly maturing dining and drinking scene with numerous standout restaurants and bars.
