Hop on this bus to head directly to Moraine Lake from Calgary
Those wishing to take in the majestic beauty of Moraine Lake this summer can easily access the popular tourist destination thanks to a new route from FlixBus. The intercity bus service will take people from several Calgary locations to the Moraine Lake Road parking lot, directly adjacent to the lake. Previously, the FlixBus bus went to Canmore, downtown Banff and Lake Louise Village, but not the lake. Moraine Lake, named among the world's most beautiful places by Condé Nast Traveler, is only accessible from June to October and a shuttle is required to access it. 'This extension to Moraine Lake reflects both our rapid growth across Canada and our commitment to making world-class destinations more accessible to more people,' said spokesperson Karina Frayter in a Friday news release. 'Banff is a bucket-list region that draws travelers from across the globe, and with shuttle options to Moraine Lake often fully booked months in advance, we saw an opportunity to provide a more convenient, reliable and affordable way to get there.' The new extended route starts on June 2, operating twice daily, seven days a week.
