Your tailor-made holiday will be as unique as you are. These itineraries are just a starting point, a bit of inspiration to show what’s possible. Your own trip all starts with a conversation with one of our Canada experts, who’ll take the time to understand what matters most to you and design the perfect holiday to match.

We've designed this classic self-drive adventure through Western Canada to be just as much about the journey as it is the destinations. You'll experience everything from coastal city life to rugged mountain passes, glacial lakes and wildflower-filled valleys along the way. This route really does tick off some of the most spectacular landscapes in British Columbia and Alberta.

Begin in the lively city of Vancouver, before winding your way up the scenic Sea-to-Sky Highway to Whistler. Then it’s on to the waterfalls and wildlife of Wells Gray Provincial Park, before heading into the heart of the Rockies, exploring the alpine beauty of Jasper, the postcard-perfect shores of Lake Louise, and the mountain trails, hot springs, and vibrant town centre of Banff.

Yes, the drives can be long, but with countless snow-capped peaks, turquoise lakes, and forests around every bend, you’ll be wanting to make plenty of stop-offs along the way. This is a great road trip route for anyone wanting to experience Western Canada’s big landscapes, iconic highlights, and a true sense of the open road.
