After landing in Calgary, you will be picked up at the airport and taken to your hotel. In the evening, you will meet your guide and fellow travelers at a short orientation meeting. Here you will learn everything you need to know for the coming days and can prepare yourself for your adventure in the Rockies.

After breakfast, the drive takes you through expansive ranch landscapes into the imposing foothills of the Rockies. You'll soon reach Banff National Park, where an orientation tour will familiarize you with the area's highlights. In the charming town of Banff, you'll check into your hotel before your first hike in the afternoon – perhaps along the picturesque Minnewanka Lake or on one of the surrounding mountain trails. An ideal start to discovering the beauty of the Rockies.

Today you'll experience the full diversity of the landscape on an extended hike: from blooming alpine meadows, the trail leads above the tree line to an idyllic mountain lake. Those seeking an even greater challenge can climb further to a pass at 2,470 meters – rewarded with magnificent views. To relax after this active day, a soak in the hot sulfur springs or a leisurely stroll through the streets of Banff is highly recommended.

Perhaps the most famous scenery in the Rockies awaits you at Lake Louise. After a moderate climb of about 400 meters in altitude, you'll reach a historic teahouse on the shores of a turquoise alpine lake – a piece of living mountain history. Those who want more can continue hiking through the impressive Plain of Six Glaciers valley or climb a nearby peak for an even more breathtaking panorama.

Today you have a choice: either embark on the adventure of a whitewater rafting trip on the Kicking Horse River, or set off with your guide on one of the most beautiful hiking trails in the Rockies. The trail leads you over two flower-strewn passes, offering magnificent views of the emerald-green Emerald Lake. In Yoho National Park, you'll also discover natural wonders such as the thundering Takakkaw Falls, the natural bridge over the Kicking Horse River, and the famous Spiral Tunnel – a masterpiece of railway engineering.

Continuing your journey along the legendary Icefields Parkway is considered one of the most beautiful scenic drives in the world. Numerous stops allow you to capture the magnificent scenery in photos and take short hikes. The highlight of the day is the view from the Columbia Icefield of the majestic Saskatchewan Glacier. In the evening, you'll reach the tranquil town of Jasper and check into your hotel.

The day is all about variety: You can swim, cycle, ride a horse, or canoe at Pyramid Lake – or opt for an unforgettable hike with your guide at Maligne Lake. The trail leads above the tree line to an altitude of 2,150 m and, for those who wish, even higher to a 2,790 m summit. From there, you'll be rewarded with a spectacular view of the lake and the surrounding mountain ranges.

Your final day of hiking takes you to the thundering Athabasca Falls, before a trail leads you up to a pass at 2,375 meters. Here you can take in the panoramic views one last time and reflect on the past few days – a fitting end to your journey through the Rockies. In the afternoon, you'll return to Calgary, arriving at your hotel in the evening.

After breakfast, it's time to say goodbye. Your hotel's shuttle bus will take you to the airport – your luggage filled with countless impressions, memories, and pictures from the spectacular Canadian Rockies.
