The Winter Experience

Winter in the Canadian Rocky mountains is magical. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking and the blanket of white snow offers many opportunities to play and enjoy the outdoors despite below zero temperatures. From hiking in snowy forests to walking on a frozen lake, from discovering icefalls in a canyon to snowshoeing in the deep snow, there is undoubtedly an option for your group.

We visit some of the most beautiful places within Banff, Kootenay, Yoho, Jasper National Parks. But we also venture off the beaten path to enjoy the less known but equally breathtaking areas of Kananaskis and David Thompson Country.
