Lake Louise beckons

Renowned for it’s national parks and vast wildlife, Canada has something to offer everyone and there are few places more enticing than Banff National Park.

Banff National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for breathtaking scenery and an abundance of protected wildlife. Breathe in fresh mountain air whilst enjoying the many biking and walking trails. Challenge yourself with an invigorating hike to an alpine teahouse, saddle up on horseback, or relax and enjoy a gondola ride to the mountaintop. Break from the trails and head to the pure waters and canoe on Lake Louise, hop on a Lake Minnewanka boat cruise or take a gentle float trip down the Bow River.

The small communities of Lake Louise and Banff offer premium hospitality and comfort in the middle of rugged natural beauty. Active or educational, thrilling or relaxing, a journey through the Canadian Rockies is a spectacular colour feast for the eyes – the bright greens and yellows of firs and pines, vibrant red Indian Paint Brush wildflowers and emerald lakes reflecting glaciers and mountains. Watch while the peaks change from blazing white to fiery pink — moment by moment at sunset.

Keep your cameras ready and eyes peeled for over 260 species of birds that inhabit the evergreen forests. Scan the cliffs for mountain goats or look to the forest floor for wild herds of elk, bears feeding on berries, a timid but cheeky coyote or — if you are lucky — a rarer sighting of wolves and cougars. Enjoy an amazing drive along the dramatic Columbia Icefields Parkway.

Try some amazing, award-winning cuisine where gourmet chefs tantalize taste buds with fresh, regional and innovative food. Then, after a long summer’s sunny day, relax in accommodations that range from self-catering condominiums, bed and breakfast inns, to rustically elegant cabins and five-star service.
