Lux Adventure Calgary to Golden via Banff and Lake Louise

Calgary

Your adventure begins with a personalized pickup right from your hotel, Calgary Tower, or the airport. Step into a rugged yet comfortable 4x4 Jeep designed for off-road performance and long-distance travel. As we leave the city behind, the Calgary skyline fades into the distance, replaced by rolling foothills that lead to the towering peaks of the Canadian Rockies.

Canmore

Our first stop is the charming alpine town of Canmore. Nestled among jagged peaks, Canmore offers stunning panoramic views that are perfect for a morning coffee or a light snack. Stretch your legs with a short riverside walk, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and snap your first set of unforgettable photos.

Banff

Next, we continue west into the heart of Banff National Park, one of Canada’s most famous natural treasures. Here, travelers can enjoy a short visit to Banff town, take in the beauty of Cascade Mountain, and walk along the rushing waters of Bow Falls. You’ll feel the raw power of nature as the river tumbles through the rugged landscape.

Lake Louise

No trip through the Rockies is complete without Lake Louise. The turquoise waters framed by snow-capped peaks and Victoria Glacier create a picture-perfect moment. Guests will have time to explore the lakeshore trail, rent a canoe (optional), or simply enjoy the view that has become a Canadian icon.
