DESCRIPTION

Start your day effortlessly with our expert tour guides offering a stress-free pick-up. Travel in style and comfort in our spacious vans as we make our way to the iconic Lake Louise.

Upon arrival at Lake Louise, your guide will provide insider tips and highlight must-see activities to enhance your visit. Enjoy two hours of leisure time the way you want. For the adventurers, choose to ice skate, cross country ski, snowshoe, walk the lakeside or even hike to a stunning lookout. For those looking to unwind and bask in the incredible view, you can sit & relax, indulge yourself at the Fairmont Chateau or even enjoy a beverage at the outdoor Ice Bar.

Following on from our Lake Louise visit, we'll journey back through the Bow Valley and arrive to the doorstep of Banff's neighbour, Kootenay National Park. We'll cross over into Kootenay (and also British Columbia) to visit Marble Canyon - one of our favourite sights in the area and a very underrated winter destination. We'll spend some time here traversing over the canyon and find a worthy reward up at the top.

We'll then return to Banff, Canmore & Harvie Heights. Don't miss out on this extraordinary journey – join us for an adventure like no other!
