Canadian Rockies Winter Adventure - 4 Days

Vancouver - Vernon. We depart Vancouver from Canada Place at 7:15am - please arrive by 7:00am for check-in.

The fun begins straight away. Your friendly, experienced tour guide will welcome you onboard with introductions and light-hearted games, giving you the chance to get to know your fellow travellers. As we leave the city behind, we share interesting facts and stories about Vancouver while travelling into the surrounding mountains.

On arrival in Vernon, we check into our hotel before heading to SilverStar Mountain Resort, where free snow tubing is included for the afternoon - a fun and energetic way to enjoy the alpine setting.

After returning to the hotel, you can choose how to spend the evening. You may wish to visit the adjoining casino or pub (19+ only), or unwind in the hotel pool and hot tub after an active day outdoors.

Vernon - Mount Revelstoke National Park - Glacier National Park - Lake Louise - Banff. We enjoy breakfast included at the hotel before setting off for the day. Our journey takes us through the spectacular snow-capped peaks of Mount Revelstoke National Park and Glacier National Park, travelling along one of Canada’s most scenic mountain corridors. We stop at Rogers Pass National Historic Site, an important landmark in the history of the Canadian Pacific Railway and a key gateway through the Rockies.

We then arrive at the world-renowned Lake Louise. Here, you have free time to enjoy the frozen lake, with the option to go ice skating or play hockey in this iconic setting, subject to seasonal conditions.

Continuing on to Banff, we enjoy a guided city tour, taking in highlights such as the historic Banff Springs Hotel, Bow Falls and Banff Avenue. After the tour, we check into our centrally located hotel in Banff.

The evening is yours to enjoy. You can spend time shopping along Banff Avenue, or join your guide for a VIP night out dancing and experiencing Banff’s lively nightlife.

Banff - Golden. Today, you have the option to take part in an optional activity at an additional cost. Choices may include riding the Banff Gondola, ice walking, or spending the day skiing or snowboarding at Lake Louise Mountain Resort. Skiers and snowboarders depart for Lake Louise Mountain Resort. Non-skiers also have the option to visit Lake Louise and take the Lake Louise Sightseeing Gondola for panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Please note that transportation to Lake Louise is not included, however free mountain shuttles are available.

If you are not participating in an optional activity, you check out of the hotel and enjoy free time to explore the town of Banff at your own pace.

In the afternoon, we depart Banff and travel onwards to Golden, with a stop at the stunning Emerald Lake along the way, weather and time permitting. Known for its vivid colour and mountain backdrop, it is one of the most photographed lakes in the Canadian Rockies.

On arrival in Golden, you have free time to enjoy dinner, followed by time to relax in the hotel pool, waterslide and hot tub. After dinner, you are invited to join your guide for an end-of-tour celebration, featuring a campfire and marshmallow roast to round off the journey.

Golden - Vancouver. We enjoy breakfast included at the hotel before departing Golden. Our journey west includes a stop at Craigellachie, home of the Last Spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway. This historic site marks the completion of the railway in 1885, a milestone that connected Canada from coast to coast and played a key role in the country’s development.

We continue back through the mountains, arriving in Vancouver at approximately 7:30pm.
