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!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Weather in the mountains is often unpredictable and forecasts can be misleading. During winter, we can experience almost every type of weather imaginable. From mild conditions to freezing cold, we see it all. Not to mention, it can be cloudy, foggy & snowy on our winter trips. With that being said, it’s common for the weather to change quickly, so if it’s cloudy & snowy, cross your fingers and in no time it might just be bright and sunny (and even still snowing) again.

We do our very best to avoid the large crowds to give you a more relaxed and intimate experience, but it’s not always that simple. Banff National Park attracts more than 4 million visitors per year, and Lake Louise is a hotspot year-round. We head to Marble Canyon just across in Kootenay National Park, a typically quiet and very underrated sight to behold.
