Mount St. Piran

Mount St. Piran is a mountain in Banff National Park near Lake Louise in Alberta, rising in the Bow River Valley amid a cluster of prominent peaks and popular hiking routes. Named in 1894 by Samuel E. S. Allen after Saint Piran, patron saint of Cornwall, it reflects the work of early explorers and climbers who named many summits in the Lake Louise area in the late 19th century. Known as a scramble, it can be reached by routes from the east or southwest, and together these approaches form a loop above Lake Agnes. Its significance lies in its accessible high vantage within one of the park’s best-known scenic basins.
