The Icefields Parkway, which winds through Jasper and Banff National Parks, is one of the world’s most picturesque drives with epic mountain vistas, ancient glaciers, roaring waterfalls and glassy lakes dotted along the route.

Maligne Valley offers stunning landscapes brimming with unique flora and fauna. Here, you can marvel at the longest lake in Canada and spot elk, moose, eagles and bears in their natural habitat.
