In the morning, we will drive to Banff National Park and arrive at Sulphur Mountain. Take the Banff Gondola (at own expense). As the gondola ascends slowly, you can admire the stunning snowy landscape surrounded by mountains capped with snow. Afterwards, head to the Hoodoos standing above the Bow River bank, and watch the magnificent Bow Falls rushing down. The dark rocks and foaming white water form a delightful contrast, just like a mighty river surging eastward. Next, proceed to Surprise Corner to get a distant view of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel and the scenery of the Bow River. Then visit the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, which features a Scottish castle style, and stay here for lunch at your own expense. After lunch, explore Johnston Canyon, one of the three major canyons in the Rocky Mountains. Walk along the trails to the front of the rushing waterfalls. (In case of force majeure such as scenic area maintenance and closure, the tour will be replaced with a visit to Lake Minnewanka and Two Jack Lake.) Check in to the hotel in Banff in the evening.

We will depart from the hotel early in the morning and head west along Highway 1. The imposing Castle Mountain will come into view soon after. Before long, we arrive at Lake Louise, one of the most renowned lakes in the Rocky Mountains. Bathed in sunlight, the mineral-rich lake water shimmers with a captivating sapphire blue. Surrounded on three sides by the towering Victoria Glacier, the lake resembles a jade gem nestled among the mountains, earning it the nickname "the Sapphire of the Rockies". Looking back from the lakeshore, the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise stands serenely amid pine forests, welcoming all visitors. Afterwards, we will hike to the top of the trail. At the seasonal Moraine Lake, its vivid green and crystal-clear waters blend harmoniously with the jagged Ten Peaks. Standing on the high ground, you can take in the full splendour of the lake and mountains, losing track of time entirely.
After leaving Moraine Lake, we will proceed to Lake Louise Village for lunch (at your own expense; Chinese or Western set meals can be ordered additionally). Following lunch, we continue westwards and pass the Spiral Tunnel, a structure built through the arduous labour of Pacific Railway workers, to enter Yoho National Park. We then reach the tranquil Emerald Lake, where red canoes create ripples across the peaceful water surface. Next, we visit the Natural Bridge, carved out gradually by the rushing waters of the Kicking Horse River over countless years. The river course, lush pine trees, distant mountains and shallow banks together form a picturesque landscape. On the return trip, we will stop by Banff Town before driving back to Calgary.
*Moraine Lake: This scenic spot is open seasonally. The general opening period runs from the Victoria Day long weekend in May until late September to early October each year, subject to official notices from the national park authority. When it is closed and inaccessible, it will be replaced by Lake Minnewanka (30 minutes) and Two Jack Lake (15 minutes). The mandatory admission fee for Moraine Lake will be waived accordingly.
