Banff National Park Tours & Trips
What if you could wake up to views of those incredible turquoise lakes - Moraine and Louise especially - then spend your day hiking through mountain meadows? The Canadian Rockies here are just stunning. You'll probably spot elk, maybe even bears, soak in natural hot springs and get up close to actual glaciers. The alpine trails and pristine waters here are world-class.

I Had a Great time on the Tour. Our two guides Jeremy and Louis were excellent and looked after us very well. There Cooking and Food was good. There were great views to see each day and the Hikes were good with less people on the trails. I would recommend this trip.to anyone who wants to see the Rockies hidden gems

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter in Banff opens up some distinctive touring options worth exploring. If you're looking for a cozy base, the Fairmont Winter Experience lets you stay at the historic Banff Springs or Rimrock Resort while exploring Johnston Canyon's frozen waterfalls. Many travelers combine Lake Louise and Banff, mixing snowshoe walks around the lake with relaxing soaks in the Upper Hot Springs. For aurora chasers, we run an extended winter route from Edmonton through Jasper's Dark Sky Preserve - our guests love warming up with s'mores at Metis Crossing while waiting for the northern lights. The deluxe winter packages include ice walks through Maligne Canyon's formations and afternoon tea at Chateau Lake Louise. Lake Louise Ski Resort gives you options for skiing, snow tubing and also scenic gondola rides.
- Spring 2027
Spring tours catch that sweet spot when the Rockies shift between seasons. Our 5-day Select routes time it just right for early May when the Columbia Icefield opens - you can ride the Ice Explorer onto Athabasca Glacier before the big crowds arrive. We include Moraine Lake stops once it starts thawing mid-May, though guides adjust if the road isn't clear yet. A highlight for many is soaking in Radium Hot Springs while gazing at snowy peaks. Our travelers really value how these spring tours mix indoor comfort with outdoor exploration since the weather tends to change quickly.
- Summer 2027
Summer opens up the full range of what's possible in the Rockies. The Classic Canadian Rockies tour pairs hiking at Moraine Lake's vivid blue waters with a boat trip to Spirit Island on Maligne Lake - it's consistently rated as the trip highlight by our guests. Active tours take you hiking Bertha Lake trail and exploring Red Rock Canyon before nights under canvas, while luxury options use the grand railway hotels as bases. The Rocky Mountaineer adds a different perspective as you relax in glass-domed cars through mountain passes. These summer tours work well because they balance guided activities with free time to explore Banff Avenue or take optional Bow River float trips.
