Soar Up High

Become one with the firs and snow-capped mountains as you glide through on the aerial tramway system, Skyride. Take the weight off your feet and enjoy the panoramas in a relaxing way. The route will also take you over fabulous Vancouver, so you can be entranced by the fabulous cityscape with all its lights, as well as the cool, calm glaciers and rolling mists of the mountainous regions.

N-ice To Meet You

Canadian holidays to the Rockies cannot be considered complete unless travellers make sure they take the time to get intimate with the glaciers and really experience the icy world that was created by Mother Nature. The Columbia Icefield is one of the most accessible in the world, so you can take the 90-minute journey via impressive six-wheeled vehicles and be dropped right in the heart of the glacier. You will then be able to venture out and get a real feel for conditions like you’ve never experienced before. Stand on and touch ice that is thousands of years old and be sure to take an empty bottle with you to fill with the clean, cool water – the perfect souvenir!

No Ordinary Train Journey

Meander through the very highest peaks of the Rockies via a train trip like no other. The Rocky Mountaineer will allow for a more laidback method of exploring this incredible natural sight. You will be able to get close to the turquoise valleys, dramatic mountains and even the Fraser Canyon, with its impressive white-water rapids.

Fly Like a Bird

If you fancy combining a desire for adrenaline-fuelled adventure with an appreciation for the remarkable landscape, book yourself onto a fabulous helicopter tour above the Banff National Park. This height will allow you to see the glaciers, waterfalls, icefalls, lakes and peaks.
