Canada, 14 Days · Tailor-made by car

Route through the Great Parks of the Canadian West

Explore the most iconic natural parks in Canada and marvel at glaciers and picture-postcard landscapes

What do Manning, Glaciers, Banff and Jasper have in common? They're the names of the four great national parks in the west of the country. On this road trip, you'll have the chance to enjoy each one of them and explore them in depth, thanks to the freedom of having a rental car. It’s a real pleasure to be able to experience that freedom to stop wherever you want. And there are thousands of such places on this tour of the great parks. Everywhere in Banff National Park is a true gem. Here you'll discover breathtaking glaciers, lakes and waterfalls, with the added bonus of the stretch from here to Jasper being considered the most beautiful road in the world. It's an amazing experience to drive through such stunning glaciers. You'll have time to spot bears, marmots and migratory birds, and you'll be able to ski at the best resort in the whole continent, ride a snowmobile or do some stand up paddle boarding on the hundreds of lakes that you'll come across en route. Everything, washed down with the country's best wines. The Okanagan Valley boasts around one hundred wineries, perfect for a tasting session or stocking up on gifts for friends back at home. And you'll feel at home in the beautiful city of Vancouver, the best starting point of this two-week road trip during which you'll visit the national parks of the Canadian Rockies. So, what are you waiting for?

Important remarks

- Tips in Canada are a common practice.

- Generally in Canada the accommodation in the triple rooms have two double beds or one double and one single bed and the quadruple accommodation has two double beds.

- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.

- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.

- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.

- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.

- You must give notice that you are going to cross the border while collecting the vehicle. Authorisation may be required to drive through certain countries or areas/states (as is the case in the US and Canada). Depending on the conditions set out in the rental contract and the company hired, you might be charged a surcharge payable at the destination office.
