Day 4 - Jasper at Leisure
You are at leisure to enjoy the Fairmont Park Lodge, or venture out and skate on Lac Beauvert, cross country ski, go dog sledding, or see rivers frozen in time should you choose a guided tour of Maligne Canyon. One of the most awe-inspiring sights of winter is the frozen beauty of waterfalls such as Angel Falls and Queen of Maligne Canyon; winter turns their cascades into delicate sculptures beyond any human artisan’s skill. Overnight – Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge

Day 5 – Jasper to Lake Louise
The drive from Jasper to Lake Louise offers a winter landscaped, hushed and remote. Suddenly, surrounded by snow-laden trees, is the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, a shimmering winter palace. The beauty of the frozen lake and the Victoria Glacier on the opposite side of the lake are dramatic. Every year the Chateau builds an ice castle on the lake once it has frozen over. Here is a little known fact: the ice is imported from British Columbia! Check with the front desk for horse-drawn sleigh rides along the lake.
Overnight – Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

Day 6 – Lake Louise to Banff
It is a short ride from Lake Louise to Banff. After passing through the town of Banff you arrive at the “Castle of the Rockies”, the Fairmont Banff Springs. When you arrive you will quickly see that it is a village within a hotel. If you are a spa lover, you will realize that the Banff Springs Spa is in a class by itself.
Overnight – Fairmont Banff Springs

Day 7 – Banff at Leisure
There is plenty to do in Banff! The town is filled with delightful shops, boutiques, and restaurants to satisfy every taste and budget. The natural Hot Springs is up the road should you desire a relaxing time in the mineral water that has made Banff a popular destination for years.
