Active Travel, Tours And Holiday Packages To Canadian Rockies

A short guide about Active travel to Canadian Rockies

Come and visit the mighty Canadian Rockies – if you have never experienced the breath taking magnitude of these giants, then there is no better time than now. The Rockies offer a unique opportunity to enjoy world class outdoor activities set amongst the grandeur of mountain peaks, crystal clear lakes and golden valleys.

As the Canadian Rockies are within protected lands - nothing may be developed within them, with the exceptions of the town-site areas which have very small boundaries... and most visitors to the Canadian Rockies are unprepared for the sheer scale of unpopulated and subserviced land. The town of Banff is home to over 6,000 people who work within the park and due to development restrictions most buildings are only three stories high - most towns in the Canadian Rockies have an average population of about 5,000 people.

If you’re interested in seeing the best of the Canadian Rockies then why don’t you consider a tour on the classic Rocky Mountaineer and Whistler Mountaineer - relaxing in Redleaf or Goldleaf service class.
