THE ROCKIES!

After a delicious breakfast, pick up your rental car and take off along the highway on route to the Rocky Mountains. Again, we will gladly arrange a private chauffeured car if you’d prefer to watch out for the stunning sceneries and just enjoy the ride! This scenic ride will take you along the dramatic mountain roads to the Rockies’s crown jewel – Lake Louise, a glistening glacial lake with jade color water. Make sure to carry extra batteries for your camera! Rest your head at a stunning lakeside lodge entrapped by towering mountains on one side and a gorgeous spread of water on the other. Options are abundant – you could take a comfy a cable-carto the high altitude and enjoy Banff National Park’s spectacular scenery, or kick back for a relaxing dip in the hot mineral springs. For the adventure junkies, horseback riding, hiking or canoeing on the lake. As the day ends, cozy up at the hotel’s glass-fronted restaurant with a delightful glass of wine and soak in the tranquility of your surroundings.

YOHO

Final stop is at Yoho National Park with its twinkling emerald lake. Same as Baff and Jasper, Yoho is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, however, it is much more under the radar of mass tourism.

Nestled at the water’s edge and explore the park in the next couple of days. Enjoy its steep mountains, thick woodlands, sprawling lakes and white waterfalls all to yourself.
