AN ALPINE WINTER WONDERLAND

Solo adventurers looking to take on the Canadian Rockies can embark on an easy-paced, escorted adventure, which puts dramatic natural wonders on full display during winter.

Beginning in Calgary, nicknamed ‘Cowtown’ due to its Western influences, you’ll journey alongside your fellow solo travellers and nature enthusiasts into the heart of the Canadian Rockies. Banff, the unofficial Rockies capital, will serve as your base, with its cosy winter wonderland charm and convenient access to a wish-list of optional outdoor activities.

From traditional sleigh rides across alpine meadows to interacting with wolfdogs at a sanctuary and soaring above the majestic, snow-coated peaks in a helicopter, there’s no shortage of opportunities to customise your itinerary. An included excursion amongst the epic wilderness of Banff National Park and a gondola ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain is undoubtedly a highlight, as is a visit to Johnston Canyon, with its striking frozen waterfalls. The five-star Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, set on the shores of the enchanting lake, promises the perfect setting for a farewell dinner with new-found friends.
