Why Book a Canadian Rockies Self Drive Holiday?

A self-drive holiday is the best way to experience Western Canada. Travel at your own pace, stop whenever a stunning viewpoint appears, and explore the incredible national parks that make the Canadian Rockies one of the world's most spectacular destinations. From turquoise lakes and glaciers to mountain towns and coastal cities, this itinerary showcases the very best of Alberta and British Columbia in one unforgettable road trip.

Arrive into Calgary and collect your hire car before making the short drive to your centrally located hotel. Spend the remainder of the day exploring Alberta's largest city. Wander along Stephen Avenue, visit the Calgary Tower or simply relax before beginning your Canadian Rockies adventure.

Leave Calgary behind as you head west towards the majestic Canadian Rockies. Within a couple of hours you'll arrive in Banff National Park, where dramatic mountain scenery surrounds the charming alpine town of Banff. Spend the afternoon exploring Banff Avenue, browsing boutique shops or relaxing at one of the many cafés and restaurants.

Enjoy a full day discovering Banff National Park at your own pace. Ride the Banff Gondola to the summit of Sulphur Mountain for spectacular panoramic views, take a scenic cruise on Lake Minnewanka, visit the Cave and Basin National Historic Site or explore the fascinating Banff Park Museum. Wildlife sightings are common throughout the park, making every drive an adventure.

Today's drive along the legendary Icefields Parkway is one of the highlights of any Canadian Rockies self-drive holiday. Stop at the turquoise waters of Lake Louise, admire Peyto Lake's famous viewpoint and continue north through breathtaking mountain scenery. Before arriving in Jasper, visit the impressive Maligne Canyon with its dramatic limestone walls and waterfalls.

Travel west along the Yellowhead Highway, passing beneath the towering summit of Mount Robson, the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies. If time permits, make a detour into Wells Gray Provincial Park to discover spectacular waterfalls before continuing to the charming mountain resort of Sun Peaks.

Continue through British Columbia's beautiful interior, passing Kamloops before entering the dramatic Fraser Canyon. Stop at Hell's Gate Airtram for incredible views over the raging Fraser River before descending into the fertile Fraser Valley and arriving in Vancouver.

Spend the day exploring one of Canada's most beautiful cities with your included 48-hour Hop-On Hop-Off Pass. Visit Stanley Park, Granville Island, Gastown, Canada Place and the vibrant waterfront at your own pace. Vancouver offers the perfect finale to your Western Canada adventure.

Enjoy a leisurely final morning before driving to Vancouver International Airport to return your hire car and board your flight home.

Fly direct from London Heathrow to Calgary with Air Canada or WestJet. Your return flight departs from Vancouver, with convenient one-stop services back to London Heathrow operated by Air Canada or WestJet via Calgary.
