Walking Information

Our holidays are designed to offer a combination of walks and sightseeing. To help you gauge the most suitable for you, we use a grading system as a guideline, based on time spent walking and the degree of ascent. These figures show the normal maximum ascent and walking times per day. This tour includes walks at Grades 1 and 2.

Grade 1 Walks
With up to 4 hours walking a day, mostly on good paths but occasionally rough underfoot. There are plenty of rest stops and time to enjoy the local scenery. Ascent less than 300m per day.

Grade 2 Walks
With up to 5 hours walking per day on slightly more rugged terrain, these walks are moderate, for anyone who is comfortable walking hills. There is still plenty of time to rest and enjoy the scenery. Ascent less than 500m per day.

Accommodation

You will stay in hotels such as the Sandman Inn in Calgary, Cedar Court in Banff, Amethyst Lodge in Jasper, Thompson Hotel in Kamloops and the best Western Downtown in Vancouver. There is a restaurant and/or bar in each hotel. All rooms feature private facilities, TV and telephone.
