Lake Louise is among the most-searched aerial subjects in Canada, and almost every sweeping drone shot of it circulating online was flown either under a specific Parks Canada permit or illegally.

A glacial lake in a high cirque, ringed by peaks and ice. Extreme vertical relief in every direction.
High-altitude cirque conditions with rapid change — operationally demanding even where flight is permitted.
Not applicable to aerial work inside the park; the constraint is legal, not seasonal.
Parks Canada national-park regulations govern the entire area. About two hours from the Calgary base, entirely inside the park boundary.

No. Lake Louise sits inside Banff National Park, where Parks Canada prohibits launching, landing and operating a drone without a permit. The prohibition applies to the lake, the shoreline and the surrounding slopes without exception.
Either under a specific Parks Canada permit issued for a restricted purpose, from a crewed aircraft operating legally at altitude, or illegally. Commissioning imagery without establishing which applies transfers the risk to the commissioning brand.
