What to expect

Visit the Canadian Rockies and Jasper National Park, the biggest National Park in Canada, on a day trip from Banff!

Begin your tour crossing the Icefield Parkway, one of Canada's national treasures and most rewarding destinations. Stretching 232 km (144mt) through the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site, this world-class journey offers access to a vast wilderness of pristine mountain lakes, ancient glaciers, and broad sweeping valleys.

Stop at the Bow Lake, the headwaters of the Bow River that runs south through the city of Calgary and onto the Oldman River, ultimately to Hudson Bay. Choose to live a once-in-a-lifetime experience touring over the Athabasca Glacier in a Snocoach, a giant ice explorer, before heading to Peyto Lake. Its milky blue color is unique and will change with the seasons and time of day. Conclude your tour at Crowfoot Glacier, named after its shape when it was discovered.

Return to Banff and arrive around 18.30pm.
