Your day-to-day plan
Day 1
Banff
Fly across the snow-covered plains of Canada and touchdown in Calgary, the gateway to the Rockies, and enjoy the scenic transfer that winds along the mountain highway to Banff for two nights. 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. 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, which is magical when surrounded by snow!
Day 2
Banff
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 breathtaking 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.
Day 3
Jasper
This morning you leave Banff behind and head up the Icefields Parkway to the town of Jasper. Regularly voted the world’s most scenic drive, sit back, and relax as you travel through a winter wonderland of frozen lakes, spectacular glaciers, and snow-covered peaks. Jasper is filled with winter fun for everyone, from ice climbing to dogsledding, the choices are endless. At night, the town comes alive with après ski entertainment. Make sure to visit the planetarium as you are now in a dark sky preserve.
Day 4
Jasper
Embark on your wildlife tour today with knowledgeable guides, seeking out all 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 leisure, 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.
Day 5
Lake Louise
Hit the road and marvel again at the stunning scenery as you make your way down the Rockies, along the Icefields Parkway. This journey also offers fantastic opportunities for wildlife viewing as the hardy winter creatures search for food, but you must be quick as their winter camouflage makes them hard to spot. 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.
Day 6
Lake Louise
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. You will be with certified guides on this introduction to snowshoeing and they will show you how to use snowshoes in a safe environment, while sharing stories of the history, landscape, and wildlife of Lake Louise. For your last night in Lake Louise, make sure to visit the seasonal Ice Bar at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise for a unique experience.
Day 7
Fly Home
We recommend spending the last few hours of your holiday on a memorable sleigh ride along the shores of the lake, beneath the Victoria glacier and onto frozen waterfalls, truly beautiful. If you’re feeling more adventurous, why not try cross-country skiing? With so many groomed ski trails around, Lake Louise is the perfect place to do it. Don’t forget any last-minute shopping before you join a transfer through the scenic Rocky Mountains to Calgary and your international flight home.
