The Berg Lake Trail is one of the most iconic hikes in the Canadian Rockies. It reopened in June 2025 after significant damage from flooding in 2021.

This 22km long trail (44km return), most often backpacked over several days, has it all - massive glaciers, jagged mountain peaks, steep forested valleys, dramatic waterfalls, and turquoise coloured lakes.

Put simply, it's a showcase of the very best the Canadian Rockies has to offer.

To camp on the Berg Lake Trail, you must have a valid permit for one of the seven backcountry campgrounds. There are 103 tent pads available each night. Reservations are required from late June to late September. More details in the linked guide!
