This is the most popular vehicle and bus route in the Canadian Rockies. It passes many of our most iconic sites and offers your guests the very best opportunities to experience the magic of these mountains.
Popular stops may include:
- Lake Louise (if time allows)
- Crowfoot Glacier
- Bow Lake
- North Saskatchewan Viewpoint
- Athabasca Glacier
- Athabasca Falls (if continuing on to Jasper)
There are a number of ways to configure this step-on guide experience.
- Ice Return: The most common itinerary departs Banff in the morning and tours north to the Columbia Icefields before returning to Banff again in the evening.
- Banff to Jasper: This configuration comes with the additional cost of overnight accommodation for your guide in Jasper, as well as positioning fees to get your guide back to Banff, and additional guide fees for the two-day commitment for your guide.
- This fee includes the cost of guide service only
- Attraction Costs
- Park Fees
- Group Meals
- Vehicle Transportation
Understanding the timing involved in this trip can help you better plan your or your group’s tour timing.
Here are sample driving times:
- Banff to Lake Louise – 1 hour
- Banff to the Columbia Icefields – 2.5 hours
- Banff to Jasper – 4 hours
- Athabasca Glacier Ice Explorer Tour – 2 hours
- Glacier Skywalk – 1.5 hours (I don’t recommend this option)
- Lake Louise side trip – minimum 1 hour
- Lunch can be either box lunches on the coach (we can provide those for you at extra cost), or at the Columbia Icefields or Saskatchewan River Crossing. If you want to stop for lunch, be sure to add an additional hour to your schedule.
Whenever possible, I try to add your visit to Lake Louise on a different tour. This is already a very long day and Lake Louise is worth spending additional time to really enjoy this magical site.
