Itinerary Overview:
Calgary – Spiral Tunnel (pass by) – Emerald Lake (20 minutes) – Natural Bridge (15 minutes) – Lake Louise – Lunch at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise – Marble Canyon – Calgary
Heading west, you will pass by the historic Spiral Tunnel, an engineering marvel built during the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, symbolizing the wisdom and perseverance of early railway workers. Continue on to the tranquil Emerald Lake, a stunning alpine gem that remains enchanting even in winter. Then visit the Natural Bridge, where the Kicking Horse River has carved its way through solid rock to form a naturally sculpted arch.
Next, arrive at the magical Lake Louise, framed by the majestic Victoria Glacier. During January to April (subject to official opening dates), the world-renowned Ice Magic Festival transforms the area into a fairytale world of ice and snow sculptures created by artists from around the globe. Overlooking the lake, the elegant Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise adds timeless charm to the scenery.
Here, you may also choose from two optional add-on meals (mandatory, choose one):
- Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise 3-course Lunch (default option)
- Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise Afternoon Tea (upgrade option)
After lunch, we'll head to Marble Canyon for a light hike. The canyon features numerous wooden bridges, and the trail zigzags across winding streams. Towering limestone canyons and icefalls on either side create a magnificent landscape, and in winter, the waterfalls are even more crystalline. In the evening, approximately 17:15 PM in Banff, with an estimated return to Calgary around 19:15 PM.
