DAY BY DAY

A purpose to each day,
with the demanding parts made clear.

This is a representative rhythm for the journey. Cities, hotels, and sightseeing order may change by departure date. Before you decide, we review the final version with you point by point.

DAY 1

Vancouver → Kamloops → Spahats Falls → Valemount

Depart from your selected pickup, travel via Hope and Kamloops to Spahats Falls, then stay in the Valemount area. This is a long driving day; arrive at your pickup ahead of the confirmed time.

DAY 2

Valemount → Mount Robson Provincial Park → Jasper → Maligne Lake

Travel through Mount Robson Provincial Park to Jasper and Maligne Lake. The optional lake cruise costs extra and depends on the season and availability. Stay in Jasper town; reference hotels include Tonquin Inn, Chateau Jasper or similar.

DAY 3

Jasper National Park → Columbia Icefield → Banff

Visit Athabasca Falls, the Columbia Icefield and Peyto Lake on the way to Banff. The Ice Explorer and Skywalk are in the separately charged mandatory attraction package, not the base tour fare. Stay in Banff town at Elk + Avenue Hotel, Irwin's Mountain Inn or similar. An evening tour is optional.

DAY 4

Banff → Lake Louise → Moraine Lake → Revelstoke / Salmon Arm

The plan includes the Banff Gondola, Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, followed by a hotel in Revelstoke or Salmon Arm. The gondola and Moraine Lake access are in the mandatory package. Moraine Lake depends on seasonal road access; confirm the replacement route for later departures.

DAY 5

Revelstoke / Salmon Arm → Kelowna → Vancouver

Return to Vancouver via Kelowna, Okanagan Lake and an ice-wine winery. Confirm tasting arrangements and any charges separately. Traffic affects the return time; ask about suitable connections before booking an evening flight.
