ABOUT THIS REGION  CYCLING ROAD TOURS

Icefields Parkway - Jasper to Banff, Inn to Inn

Welcome to the Icefields Parkway Inn-to-Inn cycle tour. For many cyclists this is the best cycle tour in the world. The spectacular scenery found in the national parks of the Canadian Rockies is unprecedented in North America. This tour offers you the opportunity to travel this high country on one of the greatest mountain roadways of the world - The Icefields Parkway.

Icefields Parkway - Jasper to Banff, Inn to Inn

Stretching an impressive 200 miles (300 km) between the historic towns of Jasper and Banff, the Icefields Parkway traverses beneath some of the most majestic mountains of the world. Flanked by dozens of massive glaciers that plummet to the roadsides, it follows three major river systems and passes by exquisite scenery studded with turquoise lakes and brilliant wild flowers. Along the route, two mountain passes - Sunwapta and Bow - take you up to elevations in excess of 7,000 feet (2,100 metres) for breathtaking views of the Columbia Icefield, the largest conglomeration of glaciers in the Canadian Rockies whose melting waters feed rivers that eventually drain into the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. From the elegant to the formidable, the mountain peaks of the Canadian Rockies are nothing less than spectacular and deserve the United Nations World Heritage Site designation bestowed upon them. So let our guides take you on a mountain cycle tour in the style and luxury of an inn-to-inn experience you won't forget.
