Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Fly-Drive Holiday The Jewels of Western Canada
14 nights
An amazing adventure incorporating Lake Louise, Jasper, a Rocky Mountaineer train ride, Whistler, Victoria and Vancouver.
Majestic snow-capped mountains rise high above the deep blue waters of Lake Louise and the view from your Lakeside room at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is stunning. You will drive through towering Rocky Mountains along the renowned Icefield Parkway to Jasper and the relaxed elegance of the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, a woodland haven to savour. From here take the two day Rocky Mountaineer trip - sit in the GoldLeaf domed carriage as the scenery slips by, en route to Whistler - a truly memorable experience. Staying at the delightful Chateau Whistler, you can whet your appetite golfing, biking, hiking, canoeing and rafting, or simply relaxing in the spa. You will then be whisked by sea plane across to Victoria on Vancouver Island where you will arrive at the luxurious Fairmont Empress and your Harbourview room. Round off this trip of a lifetime in the vibrant city of Vancouver, where your Waterfront Deluxe room overlooks the harbour, Stanley Park and the mountains beyond.

Fly into Calgary Airport & collect your 4x4 to drive to your Lake Louise hotel. The village is in the valley and here you will find a small shopping mall and a couple of hotels. However, Lake Louise takes its name from the famous Lake with its impossible colour and surrounded by snow capped peaks. During your stay why not visit Banff and Moraine Lake, or go canoeing on the Lake.
3 nights in Lake Louise.
An exciting day as you drive north along the famed Icefield Parkway. Do allow time to stop off at Peyto Lake and the Athabasca Glacier where you can take a trip on to the glacier in a Snowcoach. Whilst in Jasper do take the Jasper Tram and the Maligne Lake cruise to see the much photographed Spirit Island. Return your car hire to the Jasper depot on day 5.
2 nights in Jasper.
Jasper to Quesnal
Travel onboard the Rocky Mountaineer from Jasper in the Canadian Rockies to the charming rural town of Quesnel, gateway to the North Cariboo. Pass through the Rocky Mountain Trench, with the steep Rocky and Cariboo mountains either side, and on to the rolling hills and vast forests of British Columbia’s northern interior. Highlights include Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, Yellowhead Pass and Moose Lake. Your day concludes as the Rocky Mountaineer passes through the town of Prince George and follows the Fraser River into Quesnel. Train departs on a Wednesday but we can alter the itinerary to take the Jasper –Vancouverroute which offers two more departures.
