Banff and Jasper National Parks have a rich heritage as two of the world’s most awe-inspiring mountain destinations. Snow-capped peaks, glistening glacier fed lakes, mountain trails, and rides past sweeping vistas are just part of the allure of this Canadian Rockies bike tour. Make your way from Banff to Jasper on one of the most iconic cycling routes in the world, the Icefields Parkway, witnessing unparalleled mountain scenery in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Banff and Jasper, along with the national parks of Kootenay and Yoho (as well as the Mount Robson, Mount Assiniboine and Hamber provincial parks) form the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks which were recognized as a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site in 1984.
Explore all that these historic parks have to offer. Ride the Banff Gondola to the peak of Sulphur Mountain, cruise across Lake Minnewanka, and explore iconic landmarks such as the Columbia Icefield, Lake Louise and Athabasca Falls. There is an incredible diversity of wildlife in these national parks where 53 species of mammals call it home. After days spent adventuring, unwind at world-class resorts that lie in the midst of Canada’s natural beauty and dine at award-winning restaurants on this Canadian Rockies biking and hiking trip.
Here’s the trip from Jasper to Banff!
Meet your tour leaders at the Fairmont Banff Springs, a world-class resort that resembles a castle. Take a warmup ride through the Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course. Tonight, ride the Banff Gondola to the top of Sulphur Mountain for an exquisite welcome reception and dinner.
Ride to Lake Minnewanka for a scenic cruise across the lake. After the cruise, ride back to the Fairmont Banff Springs to relax before going on a horse-drawn wagon ride. Enjoy some tasty comfort food at a cowboy cookout tonight.
Bike along the Bow Valley Parkway to Lake Louise, stopping along the way to hike the trails of one of the most popular attractions in Banff National Park, Johnston Canyon. The ride continues on past Castle Mountain and the Eisenhower Tower before arriving at Baker Creek Mountain Resort.
Spend the day hiking by the shimmering emerald waters of Lake Louise. Make your way up the Highline trail, passing through Big Beehive to the Lake Agnes Tea House, an iconic Banff and Lake Louise destination. Explore the Columbia Icefield, the largest ice mass in all of the Rocky Mountains.
Today, experience the Skywalk, a one-kilometer glass-floored lookout, that overlooks the Sunwapta Valley, 918 feet off the ground! Enjoy a short hike at Athabasca Falls, a glacier-fed class 5 waterfall that flows over an eroded cliff before returning to the hotel for a farewell dinner.
The final day of your trip begins with a breakfast at the hotel, followed by a short shuttle for a hike in Maligne Canyon, the deepest canyon in all of Jasper National Park.
