Explore our stories of the people, geology, and the building of the mountain towns of Banff and Lake Louise. For many decades the interest of visitors was based around finding a route to the Pacific Ocean. It was not until the Canadian Pacific Railway pushed through these peaks that people came to stay.

The resort town of Banff is set amongst the towering mountains of Rundle, Tunnel, Cascade and Norquay. With a driver-guide, learn about the natural attractions of the wind-shaped hoodoos that tower majestically over the valley. Visit the classic viewpoint of Surprise Corner along Tunnel Mountain Drive. A gentle ride on the Banff Gondola in a four passenger car for 8-minutes takes you to the summit of Sulphur Mountain for a 360 degree panorama of the Bow Valley. Join us as we share with you the story of how these majestic mountains have shaped this unique community.

Please note that there are 1.5 hours between the end of the Discover Banff tour and the start of the Discover Lake Louise tour.

Moraine Lake and Lake Louise are the highlights of the afternoon. The round trip excursion to Lake Louise will take you past Vermilion Lakes and Castle Mountain for unique photo opportunities and includes a stop at Johnston Canyon for a short hike to view the spectacular lower falls. At Lake Louise you will have time to walk the lakeshore trails or explore the historic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Your last stop of the day will be at Moraine Lake before your return to Banff.
