This award-winning 7-hour small-group tour begins with an early pickup at Banff Train Station. Guests travel in a modern, spacious vehicle with large panoramic windows, providing opportunities to see wildlife such as bears, moose, and elk along scenic backroads. The first stop is Moraine Lake, arriving before other visitors and buses. With a headlamp provided, the expert local guide leads the group to a viewpoint to watch the sunrise over the Valley of the Ten Peaks and Moraine Lake. Complimentary hot chocolate, coffee, and tea are available during the sunrise. Guests spend about one and a half to two hours exploring the lakeside trails while the area remains quiet. Next, guests may choose to have a hot breakfast and barista-made drink at Laggan's Mountain Bakery & Deli in Lake Louise Village by pre-arrangement. After breakfast, the tour proceeds to Lake Louise before the arrival of buses. Visitors can walk the trails or rent a canoe to paddle on the calm neon blue water. The stay at Lake Louise typically lasts one and a half to two hours. Guests wishing to extend their time at Lake Louise and return independently can notify the operator in advance. The tour also includes a 15-minute stop to walk around the grounds of the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, known for its alpine architecture and views of the lake. The return trip to Banff takes about five minutes, with drop-off at Banff Train Station, allowing time to enjoy the rest of the day. Included are water refills (bring your own bottle), hot drinks throughout the morning, head torch rental, expert local guide assistance with photography, and transportation in an upscale vehicle. Hotel pickup is not included and must be arranged separately.
