Welcome to Canada! After landing in Calgary, you will be picked up by the hotel shuttle. In the evening, you will meet your tour group and your guide for a welcome session and initial information about the upcoming tour.

You'll reach Banff National Park via rolling hills and ranchland. Here you'll pitch your tent for the next two nights – right in the middle of the forest, with showers on site. After lunch, you'll set off on your first hike, perhaps along the shores of Lake Minnewanka or on one of the surrounding mountain trails. In the evening, a cozy dinner awaits you around a campfire.

Today you'll embark on an extended day hike in the mountains. Your guide knows some real insider tips – like a tour to a hidden mountain lake or even further up to the pass at 2,470 m. Afterwards, you can relax in the hot sulfur springs of Banff or stroll through the town's charming shops.

You'll drive along the Trans-Canada Highway to the famous Lake Louise – postcard-perfect panorama included! Today, our guide will lead us on a short hike with a 400-meter climb to a historic teahouse on an alpine lake. Those who wish can continue hiking – about 15 km through the glacial valley "Plain of Six Glaciers" or to a nearby viewpoint. Overnight accommodation is at the nearby campsite with showers.

Today you have a choice: pure adrenaline on a whitewater rafting trip down the Kicking Horse River (approx. 5 hours of action!) or a high-alpine hike with your guide – for example, a long loop hike over two passes with spectacular views of the turquoise Emerald Lake. Of course, you can also discover the highlights in the valley – such as the Natural Bridge or the impressive Takakkaw Falls.

On your way to Jasper, you'll drive the breathtaking Icefields Parkway – photo stops included: Peyto Lake, Bow Summit, and more! A short hike along a ridge offers the best view of the Saskatchewan Glacier. You'll pitch your tent for three nights at a campground near Jasper.

Today's excursion takes you to Maligne Lake. There, you can hike with your guide across alpine meadows up to an altitude of 2,160 meters. Those who are up for more can even reach the summit at 2,789 meters. Alternatives include a boat trip to the famous Spirit Island, a horseback ride, or a mountain bike tour.

The Athabasca Falls and the surrounding gorge are among the top highlights. Your guide recommends a tour today at the Columbia Icefields, offering a magnificent view of the Athabasca Glacier.

In the morning, you'll hike through the spectacular Maligne Canyon – the gorge is up to 50 meters deep! Afterward, you'll travel to an idyllic lake in the foothills of the mountains, where you'll be prepared for the upcoming canoe trip. You'll learn paddling techniques, safety rules, and receive tips on equipment and camp life. The stretch of river is suitable for beginners, but caution is advised – the current, driftwood, and small rapids will keep you on your toes. Full board is included during the canoe trip.

Your unnecessary luggage stays safely stowed away – and then you're off: For three days, you'll paddle down the Athabasca River with your teammate. You'll camp on sandbanks or at cozy spots along the riverbank. Depending on the water level, the pace will vary – sometimes faster, sometimes more leisurely – but always through pristine wilderness with chances of spotting moose, beavers, eagles, or even bears. And in the evening? Campfires, starry skies, and true wilderness romance.

One last day on the water, and you'll have covered approximately 160 km by canoe. Afterwards, it's back to Edmonton by bus – arriving around 6:30 pm. Your hotel is located near the huge West Edmonton Mall – perfect for shopping, dining, or simply relaxing! This is where your tour officially ends.

Today you will be taken to the airport. If you wish to continue your journey to Calgary tomorrow (Sunday), there is a free transfer – arrival at Calgary Airport is around 3:30 pm. If you would prefer to stay another night in Edmonton, we would be happy to assist you with booking.
