Experience the extraordinary beauty of a Canadian winter during this guided sightseeing tour of the Icefields Parkway and Abraham Lake from Banff!

Linking Lake Louise to Jasper, Alberta, is one of the most beautiful stretches of road in the world: Alberta’s Highway 93, otherwise known as the Icefields Parkway. Off of this iconic roadway you will be guided to the most glorious vistas of lake, mountain and glacier! Not only will you be in awe of the incredible winter scenery on this tour, but you will also have the chance to immerse yourself even further into the majestic landscape surrounding Banff by snowshoe or ice skate!

At Peyto Lake, one of the most beautiful lakes in the Canadian Rockies, you will have the chance to forge your own path through the snow and snowshoe to a breathtaking viewpoint! For another completely unique winter experience, later in the tour you will visit Lake Abraham and its frozen ice bubbles! There, you will have the chance to don a pair of ice skates and feel a truly unbridled sense of freedom as you fly across the lake’s mesmerising surface! Of course, you will be able to go for an exploratory walk over the ice as well – no matter how you choose to explore, the otherworldly environment of Abraham Lake will leave you with unforgettable memories!

Ice cleats/crampons and hiking poles will be provided on this tour and you will have the option of adding ice skates and snowshoes at checkout. All activities, including snowshoeing and hiking, are optional and you will be able to participate as you wish or simply sit back and relax at each destination! For even more sightseeing serenity, there will also be an opportunity during the tour to cosy up by a fire, enjoy a hot beverage, and drink in the towering peaks that surround you.
