Visit Banff National Park to marvel at the beauty and grandeur of the granite peaks. It is hard to miss this natural wonder. Enjoy a ride to the Sulphur Mountain Summit on [Banff Gondola]. Next, you can see [Banff Hoodoos], "Devil's Rock." Following [Bow Falls], It is almost like you are enchanted with time when the river roars in summer.
After taking a peek at the [Surprise Corner], the spectacular viewpoint for the famous [Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel], we will visit and make a lunch stop at this Iconic Castle hotel. Finally, hiking at [Johnston Canyon] This popular hiking spot takes you to stunning waterfalls. The trail will take you through open meadows and glacial lakes.
Notes: 1. If the attraction has been closed due to maintenance or any other force majeure, we will visit Lake Minnewanka or Two Jack Lake as an alternate attraction.
2. Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel & Lunch stop [French Brasserie] (Optional with additional fees)
Hotel: Elk + Avenue Hotel/ Aspen Lodge/ Caribou Lodge or similar level
Leave the hotel early in the morning and head west along Highway 1 (Trans-Canada Highway). The steep and rugged [Castle Mountain] will soon come into view. Shortly afterward, you'll arrive at one of the most famous lakes in the Rocky Mountains — [Lake Louise]. Under the sunlight, the lake's water, rich in minerals, reflects a mesmerizing deep blue. The towering Victoria Glacier embraces the lake on three sides, resembling a piece of jade scattered in the mountains, earning it the title of "The Sapphire of the Rockies."

Turning back from the lakeside, the [Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise] stands quietly among the pine forest, awaiting visitors. Afterward, climb to the top of the trail to view [Moraine Lake] (seasonally open Jun.01 to Oct.14/ alternative spots: Two Jack Lake, Minnewanka Lake). The emerald-clear water of the lake is beautifully complemented by the jagged peaks of Ten Peaks. From the high vantage point, the view of the lake and mountains is breathtaking, making you lose track of time. Later, visit [Bow Lake], where the outlines of the Rocky Mountains are clearly reflected on the lake's surface. You can also visit the lakeside Num-Ti-Jah Lodge to learn about the legendary Rocky Mountain guide, Jimmy Thompson.
Notes: Package M: Stay at the Glacier View Lodge, which is set against the backdrop of the largest ice field outside the Arctic Circle.
Guests in this package will enjoy VIP treatment (mandatory fees included), with participation in the Skywalk and Snowcoach activities the following morning, experiencing the grandeur and wonder of nature. At dinner, enjoy a delicious meal at the Altitude restaurant, with an unbeatable glacier view.
Package C: Stay at The Crossing Resort on the Icefield Parkway, one of the National Geographic-ranked "Top 10 Scenic Drives in the World." You will participate in the Skywalk (mandatory).

*For Package C guests, you can choose to add a breakfast at the lodge (extra charge) before returning to the Icefields Center for further exploration.
We have arranged half a day for you to enjoy the stunning daytime views of the ice field. After breakfast, around 10:00 AM, all guests will board the Snowcoach (mandatory) to traverse the [Athabasca Glacier], experiencing the accumulated wonders of nature over millions of years.
Around 12:15 PM, you will depart from the Icefields Center and head toward [Sunwapta Falls]. On the way, pass by [Medicine Lake] and reach [Maligne Lake], the second-largest glacial lake in the world. You will board the Maligne Lake Cruise (additional charge), drifting along the 22-kilometer-long lake, slowly approaching the [Sprite Island].
After the tour, return to Jasper for check-in at the hotel.
Notes: (If weather conditions prevent the Maligne Lake Cruise from operating, the Jasper Skytram (extra charge) will be substituted for the tour.)
Hotel:
After breakfast, leave the hotel in Jasper and head first to [Pyramid Lake], where the pyramid-shaped peaks are reflected in the calm waters of the lake, creating a picturesque scene as if you’ve stepped into a painting. Next, proceed to the [Maligne Canyon], the longest and deepest canyon in the Rocky Mountains. Formed by glacial erosion, it features deep rock cliffs that are captivating. Then, visit the [Athabasca Falls], shaped by melting snow and ice. Standing on the cliffs, you can feel the water cascading down like a mighty army, with the sound of the water echoing all around.

Next, visit [Peyto Lake] (if maintenance or other uncontrollable factors close the area, it will be replaced by a visit to Waterflow Lake). The lake, shaped like a maple leaf, is a brilliant blue jewel nestled in the Rocky Mountain valley. Along the way, pass Waterflow Lake, and enjoy views of [Crowfoot Glacier]. Continue to Yoho National Park, where you will arrive at the serene [Emerald Lake]. Here, red canoes gently ripple the tranquil waters.
Next, head to the [Natural Bridge], formed by the accumulation of water from the kicking horse river. The riverbed, alongside the towering pines and distant mountains, creates a beautiful picture. After stopping in Banff Town, return to Calgary.
