Alberta: Banff National Park & the Canadian Rockies
Witness the spectacular beauty of the wilderness up close on this dazzling ride through the Canadian Rockies. As you ride, you’ll revel in the views of rugged snow-capped peaks, crystal-clear lakes, and blossoming alpine meadows, keeping your eyes peeled for the elk, deer, mountain goats, and bighorn sheep which populate the area. Off the bike, you’ll have time to explore hiking trails leading to dramatic ridges past roaring waterfalls. Our carefully selected lodgings with hearty meals, including a traditional barbecue, ensure that your time off the bike will be just as memorable your cycling. As you experience the majesty of the Canadian wilderness with VBT, you’ll see why this vacation surpasses all other Banff bicycle tours.

Included Meals: Breakfast

This was an amazingly beautiful ride with stunning mountains, lakes, waterfalls and guides. The food was exceptional incuding the picnics the guides prepared for us. I ride alone and feel completely comfortable and well taken care of (if needed).
