Day 1 – Saturday, July 29 Home City – Calgary – Banff – Tour Begins
Our adventure begins today! Upon arrival into Calgary Airport, you’ll transfer to our hotel in Banff for the start of our journey. Once in Banff, you’ll be amazed at the breathtakingly beautiful scenery that surrounds you. You’ll enjoy walking the streets of this quaint Canadian town nestled in the mountains. After settling into our group hotel, you’ll be ready to explore the beauty of the area including a stroll along the river banks and into the heart of town. Tonight, we’ll have a special welcome dinner together. (D)
Day 2 – Sunday, July 30 Banff – Bugaboos Lodge
Early this morning, we transfer from our hotel to the Brewster Transportation Centre. We depart Banff for the ground transfer to the Bugaboos Helipad. A light breakfast snack is provided onboard the bus. Our 2.5 hour route takes us westward from Banff National Park with a brief stop at Lake Louise to collect additional passengers, before we continue to the helipad. At approximately 10:00 am, we arrive at the helipad for the quick, exhilarating flight to Bugaboos Lodge. We meet our certified guides upon arrival. After settling into our rooms, we are outfitted with all the necessary hiking gear and get acquainted with helicopter safety procedures. After lunch, fly up for an afternoon of orientation to some of the world’s most stunning scenery. We’ll fly back to the lodge in the afternoon for snacks, beverages and relaxation time. At our lodge, dinner is served family style with guests, staff and guides eating together, topped off with dessert prepared by Bugaboos’s resident pastry chef. (B, L, D)
Day 3 – Monday, July 31 Bugaboos Lodge
Each day begins with a stretch class followed by a full breakfast. At approximately 9:00 am, we’ll depart the lodge by helicopter, one group at a time, accompanied by a guide, for a full day of adventure, exploring the immense variety of landscapes in the Bobbie Burns Mountain Range. Choose from hiking, or if you are an adrenalin junkie, participate in one of the high flying adventures such as the via ferrate. Take a packed lunch with you each day for a picnic in the mountains. Return to the lodge later in the afternoon for tea, goodies and relaxation in the lounge. You might opt for a massage (extra fee) to unwind at the end of the evening before or after dinner. Later, relax with group members over dinner and to recount your stories of your amazing adventures. (B, L, D)
Day 4 – Tuesday, August 1 Bugaboos Lodge
After our early morning stretch class followed by a full breakfast, we’ll get into our hiking groups and depart the lodge by helicopter, for another full day of adventure and beauty. Imagine being on the top of a mountain, looking down at the lower peaks and valleys. It’s an unbelievable experience! Again, you may choose from hiking, or participate in one of the high flying adventures such as the via ferrate. Take a packed lunch with you and dine al fresco amidst the stunning scenery. Return to the lodge later in the afternoon for tea, goodies and relaxation in the lounge, sauna or Jacuzzi before or after dinner. (B, L, D)
Day 5 – Wednesday, August 2 Bugaboos – Calgary
This morning, we’ll enjoy one last breakfast at the lodge, before we prepare for departure back to civilization. We’ll go via Heli-exchanges between the lodge and helipad until all of the guests are at our landing site and our awaiting motorcoach. We’ll be returning through Yolo and Banff National Parks to Banff and Calgary. A boxed lunch is provided for the return trip. We’ll arrive in Calgary at approximately 5:00 pm and enjoy the evening in this wonderful city. Just outside of our well-located hotel is the Stephen Avenue Walk, filled with restaurants and bars, shopping and entertainment. It’s a great spot winding up the end of a beautiful vacation. (B, L)
