Itinerary

Duration: 10 hours (approximately)
  • 1
    Lake Louise

    The Activity: A visit to the most iconic basin in the range. We’ll move along the flat lakeshore trail to reach the quieter vantage points of the lake and surrounding peaks, offering a better perspective of the Victoria Glacier and castle-like Fairmont Chateau.

    1 hour • Admission ticket included
  • 2
    Marble Canyon

    The Activity: We cross the Continental Divide into British Columbia for a change of pace on the way back to Banff town. This short, weaving trail features canyon-straddling footbridges where you can peer through limestone slot-canyon walls to the rushing turquoise waterfalls below. A rugged, high-impact stop that adds a second province and National Park to your day.

    45 minutes • Admission ticket included
  • 3
    Banff

    The Activity: Enjoy a 'free time' stop in the heart of Banff town. We drop you off centrally, allowing you to explore local boutiques, artisan galleries, or the scenic Bow River pathways at your own pace. A great opportunity to grab a mountain-town souvenir or a local treat before the next stop.

    1 hour 30 minutes • Admission ticket free
  • 4
    Lake Minnewanka

    At Lake Minnewanka, we walk along the wind-swept shoreline of Banff’s largest glacial lake before passing by Two Jack Lake to complete the Minnewanka Scenic Drive before heading back to Calgary.
