Emerald Lake

Depart from Banff in the morning and head west, passing the famous Spiral Tunnels, an incredible feat of engineering built during the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Continue on to Emerald Lake, where the crystal-clear water remains stunning even in winter, offering a peaceful, storybook-like setting.

Natural Bridge

You’ll then visit the Natural Bridge in Yoho National Park, a striking rock formation carved by the rushing waters of the Kicking Horse River. Here, you can see first-hand how powerful water flow has sculpted this natural stone arch over thousands of years.

Lake Louise

Next, you’ll visit the iconic Lake Louise, where the frozen lake and snow-covered landscape sit beneath the towering Victoria Glacier. From January to April (subject to official schedules), the area comes alive with the Ice Magic Festival, featuring beautifully crafted ice sculptures by artists from around the world — transforming the lakeside into a truly enchanting winter scene.

Marble Canyon

After lunch, head to Marble Canyon for a light walk. The zigzagging wooden bridges cross a winding stream, flanked by towering limestone cliffs and frozen waterfalls. In winter, the ice formations sparkle like crystal, creating a truly breathtaking scene.
