Day-wise Itinerary

Expand

Day 1: Calgary/waterton Lakes

Enjoy a morning welcome meeting with your CEO in Calgary before making the trip to Waterton National Park. Have a picnic lunch outside upon arrival to fuel up before setting out to hike the Bertha Lake trail. The switchbacks are tough, but the view of the valley below from the blue-green waters of Lake Bertha are well worth the climb. Visit Red Rock Canyon afterwards for a short walk into this geological phenomenon before setting up camp in the evening to chow down on dinner around the fire.

Day 2: Waterton Lakes

Wake up to the smell of pine, emerge from the tent, and have breakfast at camp. Get ready for a full day of hiking, lace up those boots, bring plenty of water and hit the trail. The group will be hiking either the Crypt Lake or Carthew summit trail, please note that there won't be enough time for both. You'll indulge in a picnic lunch halfway through and enjoy highlights like, roaring waterfalls, panoramic views, alpine bowls, and a 60ft tunnel through a mountain.

Day 3: Waterton Lakes/kananaskis

Enjoy a breakfast at camp before hopping into our private vehicle en route to Kananaskis. Nothing breaks up a road journey like snacks so we stop in Longview for some famous jerky to stock up. Fuel up with a picnic lunch before starting off on the first and only hike of today along the Ptarmigan Cirque trail. This steep trail offers spanning views of the surrounding mountains from an alpine meadow and also happens to be the highest paved pass in Canada. After finishing the hike, we head to our campsite, set up our tents, and have dinner together by the campfire.

Day 4: Kananaskis

In the morning after breakfast at camp the group will head straight to the trailhead of Burstall Pass. Spend the entire day hiking this route with a picnic lunch about halfway through to get some more energy for the hike back down. The views along the pass are magnificent and offer plenty of opportunities for more adventurous rock scrambling and climbing. Back at camp in the evening share dinner as a group around the campfire.

Day 5: Kananaskis/lake Louise

After another morning outdoors enjoying a breakfast at camp the group will travel to Banff. Once here it’s a day of freedom to enjoy any activity that catches your eye. There are canoe rentals, bike rentals, scenic raft tours, the Banff gondola, and of course exploring on your own two feet with another hike. But if hiking feels too daunting just now, know that you can spend the day as you choose in the majesty of this national park and still feel connected to the space. The group will transfer to Lake Louise in the early evening to set up camp and eat dinner as a group.

Day 6: Lake Louise

It’s a day jam packed with activities that will get you out into the beautiful scenery of Lake Louise. After a camp breakfast set out on a hike up Mount Fairview or the Plaines of 6 glaciers trail. Both are great trails to escape the crowds and witness some really wonderful views of Lake Louise and Banff National Park. Afterwards, enjoy a picnic lunch and then embark on a scenic raft ride down the Bow River before returning to camp for the evening.

Day 7: Lake Louise

In the morning the group will leave Lake Louise and travel to Yoho National Park to hike the Iceline Trail there. It’s one of the best hikes in the park featuring unbeatable views of glacier peaks, rugged alpine landscapes, and cascading waterfalls. Eat a picnic lunch overlooking this beautiful landscape and then travel back to Lake Louise where you can opt to get some dinner in town before heading back to camp for the night.

Day 8: Lake Louise/calgary

Transfer from Lake Louise to Calgary. Tour ends on arrival into Calgary.
