Embark on the alpine adventure of a lifetime with an amazing road trip across western Canada - includes flights, car hire, optional excursions & more

Get ready to pack all your favourite outdoor gear as you embark on a spectacular summer adventure across western Canada. From the rising skyscrapers of Vancouver to Whistler's world-class peaks, you'll leave no stone, lake, or valley unvisited as you journey through majestic alpine landscapes, coastal cities, and idyllic mountainside towns.

Your starting point will depend upon your selected itinerary, but the essence of each version remains the same: bustling commercial hubs, renowned resorts, and magnificent national parks. Skim stones across the mesmerising turquoise waters of Lake Louise, marvel at natural wonders like Jasper's Maligne Lake, admire surreal vistas from Whistler's incredible Peak 2 Peak Gondola, and hike across famed mountains. Throw in the stunning blend of city chic and natural beauty that Vancouver and Calgary offer, and you've got yourself an unforgettable Canadian retreat. Plus, if you opt for the longer 12- and 13-night itineraries, you'll get the chance to visit British Columbia's historic capital, Victoria, too.

Venture from spot to spot with ease and comfort in your very own rental car, and complement days spent amid breathtakingly beautiful landscapes with a range of awe-inspiring optional excursions.
