Captivating experiences in every season
Banff, Canada
From snowy peaks to spectacular autumn foliage and lively summer festivals, there’s magic in North America all year round. Our curated itineraries will show you the best of every season and reveal the ever-changing beauty of this remarkable country.
Winter wonders
There’s nowhere quite like Canada in the snow, particularly Banff – undeniably charming yearround – but that comes alive upon that first sprinkling. The icy peaks of the Rockies are about as magical as it gets as they rise majestically over frozen Lake Louise, embellished by the truly spectacular Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel and flanked by evergreens. That first footstep onto crunching snow is sure to evoke childhood memories of festive films in front of the fire –cosy up for a horse-drawn sleigh ride along the glacial shores of this real-life winter wonderland.
Autumn hues
Autumn brings a stunning transformation as greens shift into vibrant reds, oranges, and golds, creating a tapestry of enchanting hues. Bar Harbor’s charm, seafood, and Acadia National Park are breathtaking in the crisp fall air along the Atlantic Coast. To the west, Niagara Falls is bathed in a rouge glow, adding drama to an already spectacular wonder.
Experience the season’s spirit with indigenous cultural experiences, including visiting a Ottawa farm and, in Quebec, channel early settlers as you learn the art of making maple syrup.
The Calgary Stampede‡
The Calgary Stampede‡, an annual ten-day spectacle held in July, immerses you in a whirlwind of rodeo thrills, lively parades, and vibrant music. The air buzzes with excitement as cowboys showcase their skills and the aroma of sizzling BBQ wafts through the bustling midway. Amidst exhilarating rides and heartpounding chuckwagon races, the festival’s electric atmosphere and rich heritage make it an unforgettable celebration of Western culture.
