What to expect

Download this audio‑guided driving tour featuring four routes across Banff townsite and surrounds, Lake Louise and Yoho, the Icefields Parkway and Jasper National Park, with bonus content included.

The Banff tour follows a loop covering key sights and viewpoints in and around the town, combining natural landmarks and man‑made features. It provides a useful introduction to Banff National Park and works well as an orientation for first‑time visitors. Allow at least three hours to complete the drive, with extra time for stops along the way.

The Lake Louise, Moraine, and Yoho tour highlights some of the Canadian Rockies' most recognisable scenery, with mountain landscapes, strikingly coloured lakes and waterfalls. The Bow Valley Parkway between Banff and Lake Louise is driven at a reduced speed and offers opportunities to observe wildlife from a safe distance. This route also leads to the accessible walk at Johnston Canyon.

The Icefields Parkway tour follows one of the world's most scenic mountain roads, passing glaciers, peaks and wide valleys. Audio commentary adds context with stories linked to early mountaineering exploration.

The Jasper National Park tour focuses on sightseeing around the park, using the town of Jasper as a convenient base for exploring the surrounding area.
