  • Day 1: Arrival in Calgary & Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary

    Welcome to Calgary. Upon arrival, collect your rental car and begin your scenic drive to Canmore, nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. En route, visit the Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary for an unforgettable interactive tour with the Cascade Pack. During this immersive experience, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of wolf behavior and the crucial role wolves play in our ecosystems. Learn how wolfdogs differ from domestic dogs as you explore their stories and marvel at their majestic nature. Remember to follow the specific guidelines provided to ensure a safe and respectful encounter with these incredible animals. Arrive in Canmore, a charming mountain town known for its vibrant arts scene, welcoming community, and endless outdoor adventures. After checking into your accommodations for the next two nights, take some time to explore Canmore’s cozy cafes, unique boutiques, and breathtaking surroundings.

    Overnight: Canmore


  • Day 2: Snowshoeing in Kananaskis Country

    Get ready for a quintessential Canadian winter experience with a guided snowshoeing tour in Kananaskis Country. You’ll be whisked away from your accommodation in a luxury SUV for a short, scenic drive into the heart of the Rockies. Along the way, enjoy snow-capped mountain vistas and indulge in hot beverages and pastries. Once at the trailhead, you’ll embark on an easy snowshoe loop, perfect for first-timers and seasoned adventurers alike. The serene winter landscape, complete with frosted evergreens and sparkling snowfields, makes this a truly magical experience. Your guide will share fascinating insights about the region as you enjoy snacks along the trail. Afterward, stop at a cozy mountain lodge for afternoon tea—an authentic Canadian Rockies tradition. Spend the evening at your leisure, perhaps enjoying a hearty meal at one of Canmore’s local restaurants.

    Overnight: Canmore


  • Day 3: Banff & Johnston Canyon Icewalk

    Check out of your Canmore hotel and drive to the nearby town of Banff, the crown jewel of Canada’s first national park. Known for its iconic mountain scenery, lively downtown, and luxurious hot springs, Banff is a must-visit destination in any season. Your first adventure in Banff is the Johnston Canyon Icewalk, a guided tour through one of Banff National Park’s most popular natural wonders. Walk along steel catwalks built into the canyon walls as you journey to the frozen Lower and Upper Falls. Look at the shimmering ice formations, cascading icicles, and 30-meter-high frozen towers of ice. Your guide will share fascinating stories about Johnston Canyon’s history and wildlife as you explore. Keep your camera ready for incredible photo opportunities, and you might even spot wildlife like elk or deer along the way. Check into your Banff accommodations and spend the evening soaking in the town’s vibrant atmosphere or relaxing by the fire. The town site of Banff covers almost 4 sq. kms. and is at an elevation of 1,383 mtrs (4,537 feet), making it the highest town in Canada. Banff is flanked on all sides by towering mountains, including Mount Rundle, Sulphur Mountain, Mount Norquay, and Cascade Mountain. You may see a herd of elk wandering down the main street during your early morning walk. The lively streets of downtown are lined with top-class restaurants, bars, and shops, as well as a vibrant range of art galleries and museums.

    Overnight: Banff
