ROCKIES WINTER PREMIUM
Overview
The Canadian Rocky Mountains are stunning at any time of the year. Still, there’s something magical about visiting in the winter when the mountains are covered in a blanket of glistening snow. The entire region becomes a true winter wonderland surrounded by snow-capped mountains, frozen lakes and dense frosty 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 enjoy many spectacular sites on the journey to the Rocky Mountains and will have ample free time to try exciting winter activities like skiing/boarding at Lake Louise Mountain Resort or ice walking, or you can sleep in after a big night out on the town and enjoy the shops and sights of Banff. The transportation for this Premium Tour is a deluxe mini-coach with a smaller group size of up to 34 passengers maximum.
