This morning we will depart from Calgary/Banff, traveling along the Icefields Parkway. Our first stop is Bow Lake, where, during the summer when the water melts, the lake transforms into a dazzling blue, its tranquil surface reflecting the surrounding mountains like a mirror. Next, we will travel to Peyto Lake, a glacial lake whose turquoise waters attract numerous nature lovers and photographers. Following this, we will arrive at the Columbia Glacier. We will then board a giant snowmobile to ascend to the 300-meter-deep surface of the Athapassar Glacier, experiencing firsthand the remnants of the Second Ice Age.
Itinerary:
Calgary/Banff → Icefields Parkway → Ravenfoot Glacier (passing through) → Bow Lake (20 mins) → Peyto Lake (20 mins) → Columbia Icefield Adventure (90 mins, including mandatory snowmobile tour) → Banff
On the day of the tour, you may add the Banff Night Tour (Price: USD$70.00 / CAD$85.00 per person). Catch the iconic “Golden Mountain” glow and picture-perfect lake reflections at sunset with gorgeous layered light and shadow, and keep an eye out for wild elk, bighorn sheep and even bears along the way for unforgettable natural surprises.
Due to the limited hotel resources in the Banff area, it is not possible to specify the room type. The hotel will randomly arrange a king-size bed room or a twin bed room based on the room availability on that day. Thank you for your understanding!

“Ali Travel's service is excellent, and the advisors at every store are professional. We are two seniors and have travelled with them to Cuba, Yellowknife, the Dominican Republic, Cancún and China — every experience was fantastic.…”
“The whole trip went very smoothly. Canace was very professional — she managed the route and timing well and solved any issue promptly, which took a load off our minds. The pacing was just right: relaxed, not exhausting. A very go…”
“Ali Travel was great and professional, highly recommend! Their pricing was competitive and they had a lot of variety to choose from. I look forward to booking with them again for my next vacation!”
