Overview

From iconic hotels and goldrush history to aurora-lit skies, take a journey revealing the wild heart and warm soul of Canada’s Rockies and the Yukon in winter.

Itinerary

A winter adventure spanning the soaring majesty of the Canadian Rockies and the brilliance of the Yukon sets the stage for unforgettable encounters with local cultures and the beauty of nature. As you arrive in Calgary, in the province of Alberta, take time to settle in and explore at your own pace. There are no scheduled activities today, giving you time to unwind and get ready for the breathtaking days ahead.

Your journey into the heart of the Canadian Rockies begins with an Impact Moment at the Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary. Here, rescued wolfdogs find safety, care, and fulfilling lives. Learn about the sanctuary’s mission to promote understanding of wolfdogs and wild wolf conservation during an up-close experience and viewing of these animals guided by passionate experts. After continuing the day’s trek, enjoy free time during a stop in the quaint town of Canmore. This afternoon, arrive at the famous Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, a stunning retreat nestled beside the frozen lake and surrounded by towering mountains — the scenery is nothing short of magical, and perhaps the elusive auroras will even make an appearance after dark. Tonight, enjoy the company of your fellow travelers as you dine at one of the Chateau’s acclaimed restaurants.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Wake up to a postcard-perfect morning in Lake Louise, where the stillness of winter wraps the landscape in quiet beauty. With free time this morning, why not take a walk along the scenic lakeshore? Mid-morning, set off for the charming alpine town of Banff. Enjoy some time in the cozy downtown before learning about a uniquely Albertan treasure. Meet a local ammolite specialist to discover the story behind this rare gemstone found only in Alberta. Later, check into the legendary Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, affectionately known as “Canada’s Castle in the Rockies.” With its grand architecture and storied past, it’s more than a hotel – it’s a destination in itself.
Meals: Breakfast

This morning, it’s your choice! Lace up your boots for a guided hike through Johnston Canyon, where steel catwalks hug the canyon walls and lead you to frozen waterfalls and dramatic views -OR- enjoy a hands-on bead-working experience led by a member of the Metis community, an Indigenous people with a unique history, culture and language all their own. Enjoy free time on your own surrounded by the snow globe atmosphere of charming Banff. Later today, soar above it all on the Banff Gondola, ascending Sulphur Mountain for panoramic views of snow-covered peaks and valleys. At the summit, enjoy a memorable dinner surrounded by alpine beauty, followed by Nightrise, an interactive art experience created in collaboration with the Stoney Nakoda Nation.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Back in Calgary after a late morning departure from Banff, dive into the city’s vibrant food scene with a guided tasting tour of Calgary Farmers’ Market West. With your local foodie guide leading the way, sample regional flavors and discover stories behind the ingredients. It’s a delicious way to connect with Alberta’s culture — one bite at a time. Enjoy a free evening as you wish.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Today, take a flight to Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon — a land of vast wilderness, rich Indigenous heritage, and gold rush legends. Though it’s Canada’s smallest territory by population, the Yukon’s spirit is anything but small. Larger than many countries, it’s a place where nature reigns and stories run deep. Whitehorse sits directly beneath the aurora oval, making it one of the best places on Earth to witness the northern lights — and tonight, you’ll have your first chance to see them dance across the sky. Bundle up, step outside, and look up. The magic of the Yukon night sky awaits.
Meals: Breakfast

Today, discover the heart and soul of Whitehorse, a small city with a big personality. Join a local guide for a tour that brings the town’s frontier spirit to life. See the SS Klondike, a grand paddle-wheeler that once ruled the Yukon River, and see the Old Log Church, the city’s oldest building. Along the way, hear stories of “sourdoughs” — those hardy souls who’ve braved a Yukon winter and wear it like a badge of honor. This afternoon, get closer to the wild at the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, where you’ll have the chance to spot native species like musk-ox, elk, and Dall sheep in their natural habitat. Then, unwind in the steamy, mineral-rich waters of the Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs, surrounded by snow-covered forest. It’s a moment of pure Yukon serenity. As night falls, head out once again in search of the aurora borealis. With luck, the sky will come alive in waves of green – an unforgettable spectacle in this land of endless wonder.
Meals: Breakfast

After a late night seeking the aurora, enjoy a leisurely morning to rest or explore Whitehorse at your own pace, perhaps sipping coffee in a cozy café or strolling along the Yukon River. This afternoon, embrace the spirit of the North with a thrilling dogsledding adventure. Led by an expert musher, glide through the snow-covered backcountry behind a team of eager huskies. It’s an exhilarating, unforgettable way to experience the Yukon wilderness — just as early explorers once did. Tonight, gather at the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre, a riverside space that honors the traditions and stories of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation. Share a meaningful meal and connect with the culture of the land through food, art, and storytelling. Later, return to the aurora viewing site for one last chance to witness the northern lights.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Say farewell to the wild beauty of the Yukon as you fly south to the vibrant, coastal city of Vancouver. Nestled between mountains and ocean, Vancouver is a cosmopolitan hub with a laid-back West Coast vibe. This evening, gather with your fellow travelers for a farewell dinner at a local restaurant.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Your tour ends today. As you return home, reflect on your favorite moments from your journey — from the icy stillness of Lake Louise to the electric skies of the Yukon.
Meals: Breakfast
