Itinerary

Day 1 Calgary – Banff

Fly across the snow covered plains of Canada and touchdown in the Calgary, the gateway to the Rockies, and enjoy the scenic transfer that winds along the mountain highway to Banff for two nights.

Day 2 Banff

Flanked by mountains on all sides, Banff is the highest town in Canada sitting at 4,537 feet and offers a vast array of winter activities to enjoy. Today is a day of adventure as you enjoy your included Johnston Canyon Ice walk. This 3.5 to 4-hour guided walking tour leads you through the natural wonder of Johnston Canyon in all its winter glory. On this exciting guided excursion you will trek across steel walkways built into the canyon walls and witness breath taking views of the gorge below. The catwalks lead you into the frozen lower waterfalls and onto your final stop at the upper falls, framed by gigantic ice pillars and frequented by courageous ice climbers. Spend some time enjoying the view with a hot chocolate and maple cookies. For the rest of your day consider taking the Banff Gondola to the top of Sulphur Mountain or relax in the historic Banff Hot Springs, so nice when surrounded by snow!

Day 3 Banff to Jasper

This morning you leave Banff behind and head up the Icefields Parkway to the town of Jasper. Regularly voted the worlds most scenic drive, sit back and relax as you travel through a winter wonderland of frozen lakes, spectacular glaciers and snow covered peaks.

Day 4 Jasper

Jasper is filled with winter fun for everyone. Embark your wildlife tour today with knowledgeable guides, seeking out all of the park's most iconic creatures. This tour will take you through the Athabasca Valley and you will learn how the animals contribute to the rich diversity of the National Park. The afternoon is at your lesuire, Strap on ice cleats over your warm winter boots, bundle up with a thick coat and toasty gloves, and visit Maligne canyon. Cross bridges made of ice and touch frozen waterfalls but best of all you can visit at night when the stars are shining and the ice sparkles. For something a little faster climb aboard a dog sled and glide over the snow as you are pulled along by a pack of friendly Alaskan huskies. In the night time the town comes alive with apres ski entertainment.

Day 5 Jasper - Lake Louise

Hit the road and marvel again at the stunning scenery as you make your way down the Rockies from Jasper to Lake Louise, along the Icefields parkway. This journey offers fantastic opportunities for wildlife viewing as the hardy winter creatures search for food but you have to be quick as their winter camouflage makes them hard to spot. Snow covered peaks and frozen lakes make for perfect photograph opportunities.

Day 6 Lake Louise

Possibly the most photographed lake in the world, Lake Louise is beautiful in the summer and absolutely stunning in the winter. Frozen solid over the winter month, the lake is strong enough to walk on, you can even hire a pair of skates and go for a quick spin or try a little ice hockey if you wish. Today you will venture on your included Snowshoe tour which will take you to the top of the mountains to experience a view previously only accessible to skiers and snowboarders. We recommend spending the remainder of your day on a memorable sleigh ride along the shores of the lake, beneath the Victoria glacier and onto frozen waterfalls, truly romantic.

Day 7 Lake Louise – Calgary

Spend the morning doing any last minute shopping before you join a transfer through the scenic Rocky Mountains to Calgary and your international flight home.
