Peaks
The world-renowned Canadian Rockies, spanning British Columbia and Alberta in Western Canada, make up one of the largest mountain ranges in North America and are threaded with paths less traveled. Majestic peaks, alpine lakes, groaning glaciers, and spectacular valleys beg to be explored by foot, bike, raft, rail, or air. With landscapes more stunning than any painting, the region has been inhabited by First Nations peoples for over 11,000 years, and artists, explorers, and the curious have been drawn to this beauty for centuries.

Experiences
With the longest recreational trail stretching 16,800 miles, there’s no limit to your adventure once you break from the crowds and set foot in Canada’s backcountry. Drop in on the Kananaskis Mountains, just south of Banff, to hike mountain passes, spy wildlife in lush valleys, and kick up your heels in cozy log cabin accommodation.
Embrace winter in the Kootenays, where you can follow heli-skiing in the Purcell or Selkirk mountains with a soak in an outdoor hot tub surrounded by snow-covered peaks. Travel to the remote wilderness by horseback and spend your days mountain biking, canoeing, or paddleboarding, knowing comfort awaits in a rustic luxury lodge.
Trek through magnificent scenes of snow-capped mountains, wildflower meadows, and glacier-fed lakes, always on the look-out for grizzly and black bears, elk, bighorn sheep, moose, and caribou. Travel the Icefield Parkway, from Jasper to Banff, referred to as one of the most stunning roads in the world, and pull into your luxury lakeside cabin at Emerald Lake Lodge. Relax and unwind in the therapeutic, mineral-rich waters of the Fairmont and Radium hot springs.
Fall in love with the laid-back and friendly atmosphere in the small towns of Fernie and Nelson. These hamlets exude charm and history, with artisan shops, creative dining experiences, and craft breweries made livelier with local musicians.
Journey by rail from Vancouver to Whistler to Jasper, through mountain passes and gold rush landscapes. Your chariot is a historic train, with an oversized, glass-domed coach and an outdoor viewing platform to take in the breathtaking scenery from sea to sky. Pinpoint hidden lakes and canyons that few get to see, all with a drink in hand and from the comfort of your seat. Disembark in Jasper, where sightings of elk, bear, moose, mountain sheep, and deer are common.
Explore the crystal lakes and rivers, kayak the milky glacier waters to Spirit Island, experience the exhilaration of whitewater rafting down the Sunwapta River, or paddle a canoe on Pyramid Lake. Relax at the end of the day in your luxury accommodation at Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge.
