✈️ UK – Calgary (2 nights): To kick-start your epic journey, we’ll fly you from the UK to Calgary, the perfect gateway to the Canadian Rockies. With two nights here, you’ll have time to recover from your flight and immerse yourself in this vibrant western city. Calgary’s metropolitan core is brimming with attractions, cultural experiences and lively neighbourhoods to explore. For eating, drinking and shopping, The Beltline and 17th Avenue are the city’s most popular hotspots, buzzing both day and night. Inglewood, Calgary’s oldest district, offers a more alternative vibe and is also close to the Calgary Zoo. Other highlights include the Glenbow Museum, Stephen Avenue Walk, Chinatown and Prince’s Island Park.

🚗 Calgary – Banff (2 nights): After two nights in the city, drive out to Banff and catch your first glimpse of Canada’s awe-inspiring wilderness. Nestled within Banff National Park, the resort town is surrounded by dramatic peaks such as Mount Cascade and Mount Rundle, and the glassy waters of Moraine Lake. Canada’s oldest national park is also one of its most spectacular, explore hiking trails like the Cory Pass Loop, unwind at the Upper Hot Springs, or tee off at the Fairmont Banff Springs golf course. Horse riding, climbing and skiing (in season) make Banff a year-round outdoor playground.

🚗 Banff – Lake Louise (2 nights): Continue your journey to the world-famous Lake Louise, a vivid turquoise gem framed by soaring mountains. The best way to appreciate its beauty is from the water: hire a kayak and glide across the lake’s calm surface. Alternatively, take to the surrounding trails for breathtaking alpine views. With opportunities for mountaineering, caving and white-water rafting, this is an outdoor paradise where adventure meets serenity.

🚗 Lake Louise – Jasper (2 nights): The drive from Lake Louise to Jasper takes around three hours, but it’s one of the most scenic routes in the world. Follow the Icefields Parkway past mighty peaks such as Mount Sarbach and Cirrus Mountain, before arriving at Jasper, another haven for nature lovers. Explore its national park trails, visit the thundering Athabasca Falls, or go white-water rafting amid stunning glacier-fed scenery. Jasper’s mountain backdrop and peaceful pace make it the perfect stop for two nights.

🚗 Jasper – Sun Peaks (1 night) – Whistler (2 nights): Continue your adventure through the mountains with a night in Sun Peaks, a charming alpine resort known for its year-round beauty. From here, travel onwards to Whistler for two nights. While world-famous for skiing, Whistler also shines in summer with activities such as bear-spotting, mountain biking and the unforgettable Peak 2 Peak Gondola, a record-breaking cable car linking two of Whistler’s highest peaks. Whistler Village itself is lively, filled with boutique shops, art galleries and a great après-scene.

🚗 Whistler – Vancouver (3 nights): Conclude your journey with three nights in the stunning coastal city of Vancouver. A cultural and culinary hub on Canada’s west coast, Vancouver perfectly combines urban sophistication with breathtaking natural surroundings. Stroll through Stanley Park, browse the markets of Granville Island, or dine your way through the city’s thriving foodie scene. With its blend of ocean, forest and mountain views, Vancouver is the ideal finale to your adventure.

✈️ Vancouver – UK: On your final day, we’ll collect you from your hotel and transfer you to Vancouver Airport for your flight home to the UK.
