SAMPLE ITINERARY (CUSTOMIZABLE)
Sleigh Ride in Banff
Make your way to the Jewel of the Rockies, Banff and hop on a sleigh ride with family, friends or loved ones. Meet at the stables and get to know the horses and staff before departure. Look around you and take in the breathtaking views of the magnificent Canadian Rocky Mountains with white-crested peaks. The sleigh ride will pass through the Bow River Valley, showcasing some of the most remote areas of Banff, in western style! End the day cozied up by a fire and a hot chocolate.
Day Ski Pass
Banff National Park is home to one of the longest ski seasons in North America and three world-class ski areas, which are all located within 45 minutes of the Town of Banff: Mount Norquay, Sunshine Village, and the Lake Louise Ski Resort. All of these mountains are fantastic options with ski runs for all skill levels and abilities. Enjoy a day skiing or snowboarding and experience the "champagne powder" Banff is known for. There are also beautiful chalets at each mountain for those who like to relax, with scenic views and a warm drink.
Snowshoeing Excursion to Marble Canyon
Today, depart on an afternoon of introductory snowshoeing through rows of forests and an abundance of wildlife. Travel to Kootenay National Park and admire the dramatic colours of Marble Canyon. See how the pounding and frozen waters of Tokumn Creek have eroded a 40-meter-deep limestone gorge. Walk through the forest left standing from the 2003 Kootenay fire and search for snowshoe hare, moose and wolf tracks while exploring how the landscape is changing and animals are adapting. Take in a breath of the fresh mountain air and feel the serenity of the remote wilderness.
Johnston Canyon Ice Walk
Hike on steel walkways built into the canyon walls that give an airy view of the canyon below. Travel through prime wildlife habitat on your way to the trailhead and learn the clues to how Johnston Canyon was formed. This popular, easy hike will lead you past the lower falls and to the breathtaking jagged upper icefalls. It will appear as if the frozen waterfall is one massive icicle! Make sure to bring your camera for this adventure.
End of Trip
This marks the end of your Canadian Rocky Mountain Adventure. Depart Banff and transfer to Calgary before heading home.

Tour Questions
What is the average age of passengers for this tour?

I am a solo traveler. Is there a single surcharge?
There are options for single travelers to join most tours. Solo Travelers can choose to pay the single supplement and have their own room throughout the tour. For those willing to share, we also have a Twin Share option that is offered for the majority of our tours. This means you will be sharing the hotel rooms with another single, same gender traveller who also books the Twin Share option. If this is the case, there will be no single supplement charged to either of you. If we are unable to match you with another Twin Share traveler, there may be a single surcharge applied to cover the full cost of the rooms on some of our longer tours. Please enquire before finalizing your booking for full details.
How physically demanding is this tour? Are you able to accommodate people with mobility restrictions/limitations?
This tour has a low level of physical demand, although there may be some activities or sightseeing tours that require walking short distances. Please inquire if you have any mobility restrictions before completing your booking to ensure this tour is right for you.
How much luggage should I bring?
Each passenger may bring one large suitcase and one carry-on bag. The weight limit for this suitcase is 32 kilograms/60 pounds. Baggage handling is provided at the hotels in our tour packages. Please advise our reservations staff if you will be bringing additional items such as a cane, walker or wheelchair. You may also bring one small soft-sided carry-on bag, which should easily fit into the overhead shelf of the coach. Each person is responsible for his/her own carryon luggage. Remember to check your airline baggage restrictions if you are flying, as they may differ from Anderson Vacations Tours guidelines.
What is your recommended spending amount for non-included meals?
The suggested allowance for non-included meals is $40.00 — $60.00 CAD per day (includes tipping).
Can you accommodate passengers with dietary restrictions (food allergies, vegan, vegetarian etc.)?
Yes! There are many meals included on our fully escorted tours. Please inform us of any dietary restrictions at the time of booking so we can ensure there are alternative meal choices and arrangements made for you.
Are gratuities included in the tour cost?
For your convenience, gratuities for local guides and meals stated on the itinerary are included in the price of the tour. For meals not included in your tour package please remember that it is customary to tip your server 15-20% in North America.
