Tour Overview
Banff to Jasper National Park

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.

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.
