Dolce Tempo Journey in Banff & Lake Louise
Play. Pause. Repeat. It’s the Canadian Rockies’ call-to-action. Walk to impossibly blue lakes and breathtaking waterfalls. For a moment, you hang back, eyes closed, and inhale the sweet scent of Douglas fir. Discover hidden Kananaskis Country along trails through open meadows lined with wildflowers. Then take five to gaze in awe at snowcapped peaks reflected in aquamarine waters. Play. Pause. Sweet.
Highlights
- On foot, discover lesser-known Kananaskis Country—a locals' mountain playground with swift rivers, shimmering lakes, diverse wildlife and towering peaks
- Keep an eye out for bighorn sheep, mule deer and maybe even a grizzly bear while exploring Kananaskis's four wildland provincial parks plus Banff National Park
- Experience the Canadian Rockies’ breathtaking Banff and Lake Louise before a relaxing steam at a Nordic spa or a dip in an outdoor hot tub surrounded by alpine forest
- Enjoy welcomed comforts at luxurious mountain lodges, including an award-winning hotel built in the style of a Scottish castle nestled within easy access to all of our activities

One of our best vacations ever!
Can't say enough good things about this trip. We loved it all: the magnificent hikes, our wonderful leaders (Kate, Matisse, and Kasia), our lovely and friendly fellow guests, the gorgeous accommodations, the yummy meals. Everything! Keep your camera handy because the photo opps in the Canadian Rockies are breathtaking and endless.
The ultimate trip!
I planned this trip to help celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. My husband and I both really love to be in the mountains and be active but not too crazy. We loved the options for shorter or longer walks/hikes each day. The leaders went above and beyond to make each person enjoy the days in ways that worked best for them. We made some wonderful new friends and still had time to spend on our own. The Canadian Rockies are not to be missed. We were in awe of their beauty. Every detail was taken care of and we truly had one of the best trips we have ever taken.
Absolutely wonderful trip to the Canadian Rockies
Absolutely breath taking views, including some wild life, during our daily hikes. My wife and I are not really in the best physical shape and we thoroughly enjoyed the easy going tempo. I was surprised at how well my wife did, and she was too. Can't say enough about Lake Louise hike; if I was close enough I would do it on a daily basis. The accommodations were excellent in both locations we stayed; Fairmont Banff Springs and Marriott in Kananaski. The restaurants were exceptional, especially the Vermilion Room in Banff Springs and the Cedar Room at the Marriott.
