Alberta Tours & Trips
Have you seen the Rockies when they're properly covered in snow? You'll stay in cozy mountain lodges, snowshoe through forests to spot elk, maybe skate on frozen Lake Louise if you're there at the right time, ride gondolas up Sulphur Mountain, explore the Icefields Parkway, walk on an actual glacier, taste wine in the Okanagan, and end each day by a fire. Canadian winter done right.

Best places to start your Alberta tour
Most Alberta tours kick off from Calgary, with 59 of our customers starting there, while Vancouver serves as the second choice with 27 departures. You'll want to lock in your plans about 4 months ahead (that's 114 days) especially if you're hoping to eat at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise or have specific places to stay in mind. This timing really matters during summer when the lakes and parkway routes get busy with visitors from everywhere. Our guests often tell us they prefer late spring or early fall - you get nice weather, fewer people around and better luck booking those nicer hotels. Winter brings its own special experiences with ice walks, snowshoeing and frozen waterfalls, though you'll need proper gear for those below-freezing temperatures.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter changes everything in the Rockies, where frozen waterfalls and snow-draped peaks create a different world entirely. The 4-day winter packages take you snowshoeing around Lake Louise, where you'll walk across untouched snow fields. At day's end, our customers really enjoy soaking in the Banff Upper Hot Springs to warm up. You'll explore Johnston Canyon's ice walks, where water freezes into natural ice sculptures, and visit Abraham Lake to see its curious methane bubbles trapped under clear ice. We provide proper winter equipment like crampons for the icy sections, while nights at places like Banff Aspen Lodge keep you cozy between outdoor explorations.

- Spring 2026
Spring tours catch the Rockies as winter loosens its grip. The 5-day routes from Calgary hit that sweet spot when glacial lakes start to thaw, before summer brings the crowds. You'll reach Moraine Lake right as it opens, usually from late May, watching the ice break up to show those blue waters underneath. Our groups really like combining walks through Marble Canyon with warm soaks at Radium Hot Springs in Kootenay National Park. The Icefields Parkway drives work really well this time of year - you might spot mountain goats, elk and also bears coming out to feed on the new spring growth.

- Summer 2026
Summer's long days mean more time to explore Alberta's alpine areas. The 5-day summer circuits maximize time at Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and also Peyto Lake when their turquoise colors really pop. Our travelers appreciate the extra evening light for exploring Banff and Jasper towns after full days in the parks. These tours include a boat trip to Spirit Island on Maligne Lake, walks on the Athabasca Glacier and also rides up Sulphur Mountain's gondola for big valley views. The guides know exactly when to visit spots along the Icefields Parkway, avoiding the busy times while getting perfect photos.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall brings golden larches and quieter trails once the summer crowds head home. The 5-day autumn tours use the clear mountain air and steady weather for exploring Johnston Canyon, Maligne Canyon and also the Icefield Parkway's lookouts. Our September and October groups often see more wildlife - especially elk during rutting season around Jasper. You'll still visit all the major spots like Lake Louise and Moraine Lake before it closes for winter, but with better timing since the peak crowds are gone. Our travelers really like how the comfortable hiking temperatures pair with great photo light as the fall colors reach their peak. From what our travelers tell us, all three Calgary tour companies have their own strengths and quirks. Calgary Tours gets lots of praise for running smooth trips with guides who really know their stuff, though you might need to listen carefully since some guides have strong accents. Meanwhile, Discover Canada Tours has built quite a following thanks to Rhawnie - she's incredibly knowledgeable about the area and brings everything to life. Just keep in mind the Ranch dinner they include isn't anything special according to recent feedback. If you're up for something more active, Fresh Adventures offers some really unique hikes that other companies don't do, and guide Alex actually prepares amazing trail meals that our customers rave about. Just be aware - when they say "challenging" they mean it. Some of our travelers found the hiking more demanding than they expected, so it's worth having an honest chat about your fitness level before booking. These companies are all solid choices depending on what you're after - whether that's a classic sightseeing experience, learning from expert guides or getting off the beaten path with some serious hiking and excellent food along the way.
