Itinerary

01

Day 1: Calgary - Banff - Peyto Lake - Icefields Parkway - Ice Explorer, Glacier Skywalk - Athabasca Falls - Jasper

# Itinerary Arrangement:

Banff → Crowfoot Glacier → Peyto Lake (30 mins) → Icefields Parkway → Lunch (self-paid, buffet lunch available for additional booking, 45 mins) → Snowcoach & Glacier Skywalk (self-paid, 150 mins) → Athabasca Falls (30 mins) → Check-in hotel in Jasper

Depart from the hotel in Banff in the morning, catch distant views of Crowfoot Glacier along the route before arriving at Peyto Lake. If the scenic area is closed due to maintenance or other force majeure, Waterfowl Lake will be substituted as the visiting spot. This maple-leaf-shaped lake resembles a turquoise ribbon embedded in the valleys of the Rocky Mountains. Afterwards, a self-paid buffet lunch will be served at The Crossing Resort. Continue driving along the picturesque Icefields Parkway (Highway 93) to reach the Icefield Centre. You may board the self-paid Snowcoach to travel across the Athabasca Glacier and witness natural formations built up over millions of years. You can also step onto the 280-metre-high self-paid Glacier Skywalk, which offers panoramic views of the Sunwapta Valley; when mist and clouds roll in, it feels as if you are walking among the clouds. Next, head to Athabasca Falls, a waterfall carved by melting glacial ice with a vertical drop of 23 metres. Finally, drive to Jasper Town and check into the local hotel.

*The self-paid Ice Explorer Snowcoach and Glacier Skywalk operate from May 1 to October 12.*

Starting October 13, the tour will only stop at scenic spots without arrangements for the Snowcoach and Glacier Skywalk.

On clear weather days: Guests may take an easy hike up the hills in front of the glacier (around 60 minutes) to get an up-close view of the icefield scenery.

On poor weather days: Follow the tour guide’s arrangement to view the glacier from a distance, with an extra stop at Waterfowl Lake added to the itinerary.

  • Breakfast: On your own; Lunch: Available for additional order; Dinner: On your own
  • Chateau Jasper / Tonquin Inn / Lobstick Lodge / Jasper Inn & Suites in Jasper or similar

Day 2: Jasper - Medicine Lake - Maligne Lake - Crossing - Bow Lake - Banff

Gather at the designated location

# Itinerary:

Jasper → Medicine Lake → Maligne Lake (Optional 90-minute cruise at own expense) → Lunch at Maligne Lake (45 minutes, at own expense) → The Crossing → Bow Lake (20 minutes) → Banff

Depart from your hotel in Jasper and pass by [Medicine Lake]. At the lake’s far end lies [Maligne Lake], the world’s second-largest glacial lake. Board the [Maligne Lake Cruise (Optional, Seasonal Operation)*] and cruise across the 22-kilometre-long lake to slowly approach [Spirit Island], known as "the meeting place of the gods". After [Lunch at Maligne Lake (At Own Expense)], head to [Maligne Canyon*], the longest and deepest canyon in the Canadian Rockies. (Due to the 2024 wildfires, this site may be replaced with Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge and Lake Beauvert depending on national park accessibility.) Carved by glacial erosion, the canyon features deep, rugged rock formations that offer breathtaking scenery. Afterwards, travel south along the Icefields Parkway, stop for a break at the rest area [The Crossing], then visit the expansive [Bow Lake] for sightseeing before heading south back to Banff.

*Maligne Lake Cruise (Optional at own expense) operates from May 29 to October 11. Schedules are subject to change based on lake ice melt conditions. When cruises are unavailable, the alternative itinerary includes Pyramid Lake (45 minutes) and Patricia Lake (15 minutes).

*Maligne Canyon may be substituted with Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge and Lake Beauvert (30 minutes total) due to the 2024 wildfires, subject to national park opening status.

Day 3: Banff - Lake Louise - Moraine Lake - Yoho National Park - Emerald Lake - Natural Bridge - Calgary

Meet at the designated location

# Itinerary:

Banff → Lake Louise (75 mins) → Moraine Lake (60 mins) → Lunch at Lake Louise Village (at your own expense; Grill & Bar set meals available for additional booking, 45 mins) → Emerald Lake (20 mins) → Natural Bridge (15 mins) → Banff / Calgary

Depart the hotel early in the morning and head west along Highway 1. The rugged and imposing Castle Mountain will come into view. Shortly after, you will arrive at Lake Louise, the most famous lake in the Canadian Rockies. Under sunlight, its mineral-rich waters shimmer with a mesmerizing sapphire blue, encircled on three sides by the towering Victoria Glacier. Resembling a jade gem scattered among the mountains, it earns the moniker "Sapphire of the Rockies". Glancing back from the lakeshore, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise stands serenely amid pine forests, welcoming visitors. Afterwards, hike to the trail summit, where the crystal turquoise waters of seasonal Moraine Lake mirror the jagged Ten Peaks. Standing at the vantage point, you can take in the full panorama of lakes and mountains, losing track of time entirely. After leaving Moraine Lake, proceed to Lake Louise Village for lunch (at your own expense; Chinese or Western plated meals can be booked as add-ons). Following lunch, continue westbound, passing the Spiral Tunnel built through the hardships of Pacific Railway labourers to enter Yoho National Park. You will reach the tranquil Emerald Lake, where red canoes trail ripples across its glassy surface. Next, visit Natural Bridge, carved over thousands of years by the Kicking Horse River. The waterways, ancient pines, distant peaks and shallow shoals combine to form a breathtaking natural painting. On the return journey, stop over at Banff Town before driving back to Calgary.

*Moraine Lake: Seasonal access. Tentative opening period runs from Victoria Day long weekend in May through late September to early October each year, subject to official notices from Parks Canada. When closed and inaccessible, alternative attractions will be provided: Lake Minnewanka (30 mins) & Two Jack Lake (15 mins). Mandatory fees for Moraine Lake will be waived accordingly.
