Experience the true essence of the Canadian Rockies
with a stay at a secluded lakeside lodge. With serene
locations, breathtaking views and real character, a stay
at either Moraine Lake Lodge or Emerald Lake Lodge
offers the perfect mountain getaway. Relax on the lake
shores or glide out onto the water by canoe. Choose
from fine dining, high tea or a lakeside bonfire under
the stars! A peaceful lakeside stay can be the highlight
of any Rockies holiday.
The Icefields Parkway
Considered one of the most scenic highways in the
world, the Icefields Parkway connects Lake Louise and
Jasper. Journey past rushing waterfalls, snow capped
peaks and over 100 visible glaciers. The Columbia
Icefield, on the boundary of Banff and Jasper National
Parks, is one of the largest accumulations of snow
and ice south of the Arctic Circle. You can experience
a part of this incredible sight with a visit to the
Athabasca Glacier.
Calgary
Sitting on the edge of the Albertan prairies, Calgary
has a pleasant and compact downtown, bordered by
the pretty Bow and Elbow Rivers. The city is known
as the gateway to the Canadian Rockies but is equally
famous for its annual Stampede held every July. This
10 day cowboy festival features one of the world’s
largest rodeos, chuck wagon racing, an impressive city
parade and is a huge draw for both Canadians and
international visitors so make sure to book early.
Banff
This charming alpine town provides an ideal base for
exploring the Rockies. The surrounding national park
is a World Heritage Site and offers a variety of outdoor
activities and stunning vistas. Hike one of the beautiful
local trails, relax in the famous hot springs or enjoy
traditional mountain fare in one of the town’s many
great restaurants. Take a trip on the gondola for scenic
views from the top of Sulphur Mountain or get up close
to the mountains on an exhilarating helicopter ride!
Lake Louise
Known as the ‘Jewel of the Rockies’ this breathtaking
glacial lake is easily accessed on a day trip from Banff
but we would recommend staying the night to escape
the crowds and experience the lake as dawn breaks or
the sun sets. Enjoy an easy hike up to the historic Lake
Agnes teahouse for a birds-eye view of the sparkling
blue waters or for a grander affair, take in the stunning
landscape over afternoon tea at the famous Fairmont
Chateau Lake Louise hotel.
Jasper
Founded in 1911, Jasper is a quintessential mountain town
with a history of railway pioneers and explorers and is
perfectly positioned to explore the pristine wilderness of
the surrounding national park. This World Heritage Site
encompasses shimmering glaciers, crystal clear lakes, verdant
forests and offers the chance to see grizzly and black bears in
the wild. Enjoy a cruise on Maligne Lake, a trip on the Jasper
SkyTram, a Harley-Davidson Sidecar tour or get active
hiking in the mountains or rafting on the rivers.
