Banff

Athabasca Falls is one of Canada's most powerful waterfalls in Jasper National Park, Alberta. Though not the tallest, the falls are remarkable for the sheer force of the Athabasca River thundering through a narrow quartzite gorge. The sculpted canyon walls, turquoise glacial waters, and surrounding potholes create a spectacular geological showcase. Multiple viewpoints on short trails offer both close-up and panoramic perspectives of this impressive natural feature.

A restaurant and interpretive center complete the facilities at this spectacular Alpine destination.

Il Johnston Canyon è una delle destinazioni escursionistiche più popolari nel Parco Nazionale di Banff, Alberta — una spettacolare gola calcarea scavata dal fiume Bow dove un passerella ben mantenuta segue le pareti del canyon fino alle Cascate Inferiori e Superiori. Le due cascate principali, facilmente accessibili tutto l'anno, rendono il Johnston Canyon un'escursione ideale per le famiglie. In inverno, il canyon si trasforma in un paradiso di trekking su ghiaccio con le sue spettacolari cascate ghiacciate.

Il lago Louise è uno dei monumenti naturali più celebri del Canada, un lago glaciale dalle acque turchesi incredibilmente vivaci nel cuore del parco nazionale di Banff, in Alberta. Il suo colore straordinario è prodotto dalla farina di roccia glaciale sospesa nelle acque. Il ghiacciaio Victoria riempie la spettacolare testata della valle sopra il lago, mentre l'iconico hotel Fairmont Château Lake Louise domina il panorama. In inverno, il lago ghiacciato si trasforma in una pista di pattinaggio naturale, e il territorio circostante diventa una destinazione di sci fuori pista di livello mondiale.
