Itinerary

Imagine yourself trekking the legendary trails of Canada’s Rockies—"Walking in the Canadian Rockies" is a 13-day guided hiking tour that invites experienced travelers to discover Banff, Kananaskis, Lake Louise, and more. From the Meadows in the Sky parkway near Revelstoke to the awe-inspiring Stanley Glacier in Kootenay National Park, each route unveils soaring peaks, pristine lakes, and glacier-carved valleys. Unwind in hot springs, camp beneath starlit skies, and immerse yourself in the wild beauty of Canada’s most iconic landscapes. The trip’s standout appeal? A balance of bucket-list hikes and off-the-beaten-path gems, granting unparalleled access to the Rockies’ untamed spirit.

day 1Join trip in Calgary

Our tour of the Rockies starts in Calgary. This dynamic city is a rich fusion of modern architecture and traditional heritage, where the pioneering history of the Canadian West is woven into everyday life.

Due to the number of flights arriving into Calgary late, our tour leader - who for the duration of the tour will also be our driver - will meet you in the hotel reception on the morning of day two. A message will be left at reception with details of timings as well as anything else you'll need for the day. There are no activities planned today, so you're free to arrive at any time. If you'd like an airport transfer, you'll need to arrive into Calgary International Airport (YYC), which is a 20-minute drive from the hostel.

If your flight arrives earlier in the day, you might like to explore the city and soak up the friendly ambience. Filled with museums, shops and cafes, the centre of the city is a great place to meander and take in Calgary's culture, as well as the ever-present mountains that provide an awe-inspiring backdrop.
