You'll meet your guide as agreed in the morning – either in Calgary (around 8:30 am) or directly in Banff at around 10:30 am. You'll pitch your tent for the first two nights at a campsite in Banff National Park (with showers), nestled in a pine forest. Afterwards, your first hike awaits – for example, along Lake Minnewanka or on one of the many surrounding mountain trails.

Today you'll embark on a full-day hike – above the tree line to high-altitude passes and blooming alpine meadows. One possible route takes you to a small lake, and those who wish can continue another 2 km to a mountain pass at 2470 m. After the hike, you can relax in a warm sulfur bath or stroll through the lively streets of Banff.

A picture-perfect postcard scene – Lake Louise! Today, our guide will lead us on a short hike with a 400-meter ascent to a historic teahouse on the shores of an alpine lake. Those who wish can continue their hike – approximately 15 km through the glacial valley known as the Plain of Six Glaciers, or to a nearby viewpoint. You will spend two nights (with showers) near Lake Louise.

Today you have the option of participating in an exciting whitewater rafting trip on the Kicking Horse River – for this, we'll cross the border into Golden, BC. Alternatively, we'll hike a loop trail across flower-strewn mountain slopes with stunning views of Emerald Lake. Other highlights on today's hike include the Natural Bridge, Takakkaw Falls, and the Spiral Tunnel.

Today you'll drive along one of the world's most spectacular routes – the Icefields Parkway. Along the way, you'll stop at breathtaking locations like Peyto Lake and Bow Summit. At the Columbia Icefield, you'll hike to a ridge with panoramic views of the Saskatchewan Glacier. In the evening, you'll arrive at the campground (with showers) near Jasper, where you'll spend the next two nights.

You have many options: swimming and picnicking at Pyramid Lake, mountain biking, horseback riding, canoeing – or a guided hike with your guide. For example, you can hike a loop trail to Maligne Lake and perhaps even climb to a 2790 m high peak with fantastic views.

One last natural highlight awaits you at Athabasca Falls. Afterwards, you'll hike again near the Columbia Icefield and enjoy the view from up there, where you can reflect on the week. After lunch, the return journey to Banff or Calgary begins, where it's time to say goodbye. Arrival in Banff is at approximately 6:30 pm, and at Calgary Airport at approximately 9:45 pm.
