Join Alpine Air Adventures for a week of hiking around the beautiful Canadian Rockies.

 

I invite you to join me on a fantastic 6-day hiking trip and explore the majestic Canadian Rockies, around Banff.

 

We will spend a great time hiking along with the most beautiful scenery, through mountains, lakes and glaciers. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy nature and learn about the local flora and fauna at the same time.

 

During this week, I will take you on some of the “must-do” Banff hikes. We will discover amazing spots, and we will not return the same way we come, discovering new places all the time.

 

We will travel to Banff National Park on the first day. Banff is about 120 km from Calgary. It’s one of the most popular tourist destinations in Canada.

 

On the first day, we will enjoy an introductory hike to Grotto Canyon. During this week, I will also take you on the Cory Pass to Edith Pass hiking traverse and to the Plain of Six Glaciers at Lake Louise.

 

Also, we will hike up to Helen Lake on the Dolomite Pass Circuit. Besides, we will ascend Mt.Wilcox and enjoy spectacular views of the Columbia icefields. You can find the day-by-day itinerary below this text.

 

There are so many amazing places to discover and enjoy on this hike! This program is suitable for people of any age, provided you are in very good physical shape.
