Overview
The Canadian Rocky Mountains are stunning at any time of the year, but there’s something magical about visiting in during Christmas when the mountains are covered in a blanket of glistening snow. The entire region becomes a true winter wonderland surrounded with snow capped mountains, frozen lakes, and dense snowy landscapes. It’s the perfect setting for an array of winter activities.
This special 5-day tour includes 2-nights in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, the town of Banff. You will visit many spectacular sites on the journey to the Rocky Mountains, enjoy an authentic Indigenous experience, and have ample free time to try an exciting winter activity.
