Per Person
In the morning, take a vehicle to Banff National Park and arrive at Sulphur Mountain, then ride the Banff Gondola (at your own expense). As the gondola ascends slowly, you can admire the snow-covered mountain scenery surrounded by rolling peaks with snow-capped ridges.
Afterwards, head to the Hoodoos standing above the banks of the Bow River, and watch the magnificent Bow Falls rushing down. The surging water flows eastward, forming a striking contrast between black rock and white rapids.
Proceed to Surprise Corner to get a distant view of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel and the Bow River scenery.
Next, visit the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel built in Scottish castle style and stop here for lunch (at your own expense).
After lunch, tour Johnston Canyon, one of the three major canyons in the Rocky Mountains, and walk along the trail to the front of the rushing waterfalls.
(In case of force majeure such as scenic area maintenance and closure, the itinerary will be replaced with visits to Lake Minnewanka and Two Jack Lake.) Check into a hotel in Banff for the night.
Itinerary: Calgary → Banff Gondola (at your own expense, 90 minutes) → Hoodoos (15 minutes) → Bow Falls (15 minutes) → Surprise Corner (15 minutes) → Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel with lunch (at your own expense; French bistro-style meals available for additional booking, 90 minutes) → Johnston Canyon (60 minutes) → Check in at Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel
# Itinerary
Banff → Crowfoot Glacier → Peyto Lake (30 mins) → Icefields Parkway → Lunch (at your own expense; buffet lunch available for pre-order, 45 mins) → Ice Explorer & Glacier Skywalk (at your own expense, 150 mins) → Athabasca Falls (30 mins) → Jasper, check into hotel
Depart from your hotel in Banff in the morning and catch distant views of Crowfoot Glacier along the route. You will then arrive at Peyto Lake. In case of force majeure such as park maintenance and temporary closure, the tour will be substituted with a visit to Waterfowl Lake. This maple-leaf-shaped lake shimmers like an azure ribbon embedded in the valleys of the Canadian Rockies. Afterwards, buffet lunch (at your own expense) will be arranged at The Crossing at Saskatchewan River Crossing.
Continue north along the scenic Highway 93, the Icefields Parkway, to reach the Columbia Icefield Centre. Board the Ice Explorer (at your own expense) to travel across the Athabasca Glacier and witness natural formations accumulated over millions of years. You may also step onto the Glacier Skywalk (at your own expense), suspended 280 metres above ground, which offers unobstructed panoramic views of the Sunwapta Valley. When mist rolls in, you will feel as if you are wandering among clouds.
Next, visit Athabasca Falls, a 23-metre waterfall carved by glacial meltwater erosion. Finally, drive to Jasper Town and check into your hotel.
*Operating hours for Ice Explorer & Glacier Skywalk (at your own expense): May 1 - October 12.*
From October 13 onwards, the tour will only stop at scenic spots without the Ice Explorer and Glacier Skywalk activities.
On clear days: Guests may take an easy light hike up the hillside in front of the glacier (approx. 60 mins) for an up-close encounter with glacial landscapes.
On poor weather days: Follow the guide's arrangement to view the glacier from a distance, with an extra stop at Waterfowl Lake added to the itinerary.
Itinerary:
Jasper - Medicine Lake - Maligne Lake (Optional 90-minute cruise) - Lunch at Maligne Lake (Optional, 45 minutes) - The Crossing - Bow Lake (20 minutes) - Banff, hotel check-in
Depart from your hotel in Jasper and pass by Medicine Lake. At the end of the lake lies Maligne Lake, the world's second-largest glacial lake. Take the optional seasonal Maligne Lake Cruise to drift across the 22-kilometre lake and slowly approach Spirit Island, known as "the place where gods gather".
After the optional lunch at Maligne Lake, head to Maligne Canyon, the longest and deepest canyon in the Rocky Mountains. Due to the 2024 wildfires, this stop may be replaced by Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge and Lake Beauvert depending on national park access status. Carved by glacial erosion, the canyon features deep, rugged rock formations that captivate visitors.
Continue south along the Icefields Parkway by coach, stop for a rest at The Crossing, then visit scenic Bow Lake for photos before heading south back to Banff.
*The optional Maligne Lake Cruise operates from May 29 to October 11. Schedules are subject to change based on ice melt conditions. When cruises are unavailable, the alternative itinerary includes a 45-minute stop at Pyramid Lake and a 15-minute stop at Patricia Lake.
Due to the 2024 wildfires, Maligne Canyon may be substituted with Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge and Lake Beauvert for a total of 30 minutes, subject to national park opening arrangements.
# Itinerary
Banff → Lake Louise (75 mins) → Moraine Lake (60 mins) → Lunch at Lake Louise Village (at own expense, optional Grill & Bar lunch add-on, 45 mins) → Emerald Lake (20 mins) → Natural Bridge (15 mins) → Banff / Calgary
We will arrive at Lake Louise, the most iconic lake in the Canadian Rockies. Under sunlight, mineral-rich glacial waters glow with a breathtaking sapphire hue, enclosed on three sides by the towering Victoria Glacier. Resembling a jade gem scattered amid the mountains, it earns its moniker "Sapphire of the Rockies". Glancing back from the lakeshore, the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise stands serenely amid pine forests, welcoming all visitors. Afterwards, hike to the trailhead overlook, where the vivid turquoise waters of seasonal Moraine Lake mirror the jagged Ten Peaks. From this elevated vantage, the entire alpine panorama unfolds before your eyes, making you lose track of time.
After departing Moraine Lake, we head to Lake Louise Village for lunch (at your own cost; Western or plated Chinese set meals available as add-ons). Post-lunch, continue westbound, passing the historic Spiral Tunnels built through the blood, sweat and toil of Canadian Pacific Railway labourers to enter Yoho National Park. We then reach the secluded Emerald Lake, where red cedar canoes trail ripples across its glassy calm surface. Next stop is Natural Bridge, a rock formation carved over millennia by the Kicking Horse River. The waterway, ancient pines, distant mountain ranges and shallow shoals combine to form an idyllic natural landscape painting. On the return journey, we make a brief stop at Banff Town before driving back to Calgary.
*Moraine Lake: Seasonal Access
Standard operating window: Victoria Day long weekend in May through late September / early October each year, subject to official notice from Parks Canada.
If Moraine Lake is closed and inaccessible, the alternative sightseeing stops will be Lake Minnewanka (30 mins) + Two Jack Lake (15 mins). The mandatory site fee for Moraine Lake will be fully waived in such cases.
