Departing at 8:30 AM from the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel at the Motorcoach / Shops entrance. A trip to the Canadian Rockies isn’t complete without an excursion to the Jewel of the Canadian Rockies: Lake Louise. This tour will depart Banff and travel along the scenic Bow Valley Parkway where you will hopefully be able to spot some wildlife. Once in Lake Louise you will be able to take in the views of the lake from the shore before heading to the Lake Louise Ski Hill for a scenic gondola ride, overlooking the beautiful valley below. You will arrive back to Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel around 1:30 PM.
