    Day 1 – Calgary to Banff

    Welcome to Calgary.  The Budget rental office is right at the airport.  Keep your luggage cart and walk over to collect your car.  Your destination is either the historic Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel or the Buffalo Mountain Lodge.  The area is rich in the history of the “Springs” and the story of how Banff has developed from a railroad stop, to one of the best known resorts in the world.

    Overnight – Banff

    Day 2 – Banff at Leisure

    Be sure and you see Bow Falls, the Cave and Basin, Tunnel Mountain and if you wish; take a gondola ride up the side of Sulphur Mountain. You can take a soak in the naturally-heated Upper Hot Springs, or just take a leisurely cruise on Lake Minnewanka.

    Overnight – Banff

    Day 3 – Banff to Jasper

    Enroute to Jasper, you travel along the Icefields Parkway, named one of the most scenic highways in North America.  The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge has been named one of the ten best resorts in the world.  The Sawridge Inn is centrally located in the town of Jasper, close to shops, restaurants and the rail station.

    Overnight – Jasper

    Day 4 – Jasper at Leisure

    You have the entire day to enjoy all that Jasper has to offer!  You can take a bike ride, swim, hike, golf and even go horseback riding.  Consider a visit to Mt. Edith Cavell, secluded Maligne Lake or rafting on the Athabasca River.

    Overnight – Jasper

    Day 5 – Jasper to Lake Louise

    Your reluctance to leave Jasper will pass, as you travel south through some of the most beautiful vistas found anyplace on the globe.  A stop at the awesome Athabasca Glacier for an Ice Explorer ride on this prehistoric river of endless ice is highly recommended.  Your destination is the beautiful Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise or the Deer Lodge, rustic by intent.

    Overnight – Lake Louise

    Day 6 – Lake Louise at Leisure

    The breathtaking aura of the Rockies is yours to revel in today. The Lake Louise ski area offers rides on their chair lifts that take you to lofty heights for spectacular views.  Visit the Valley of the Ten Peaks to view lovely Moraine Lake and be sure to leave time to enjoy the serenity of the turquoise waters of Lake Louise.

    Overnight – Lake Louise

    Day 7 – Lake Louise/Home

    You will return your car to the same location at the Calgary airport.  We hope you enjoyed your trip to Canada and we thank you for choosing Cartan Tours!
