Ce fut un voyage dépaysant, pleins de souvenirs, de belles rencontres. Nos excursions furent magnifiques avec un dépassement de soi. Nos lieux de séjour extraordinaire. Une bienveillance d'Anaïs lors de mon stress pour l'enregistrement des billets mais aussi pour toute la programmation de notre voyage. Nous sommes revenus avec pleins de souvenirs.

Mon mari et moi avons passé une superbe expérience avec Vialala et Damien ! Nous avons passé 10 jours aux États-Unis. Vols + Hôtel + location de voiture + matchs NFL. Ils ont réalisé mon rêve de voir des matchs NFL avec mes équipes préférées en étant au plus proche des joueurs. Damien a su comprendre nos envies et créer un voyage sur mesure, parfaitement adapté à nos attentes. Je recommande vivement ! Emanuel et Christelle

Première expérience Vialala pour nous avec Xavier pour notre Road Trip de découverte de la corse. Xavier à été très impliqué, disponible, et à l'écoute. Il nous à monté un super projet; a su le modifier au besoin lorsque nous avons rajouté un voyageur. Nous étions en contact tout le temps du séjour. Le circuit à été programmé, les hébergements, les vols, la locations des voitures ainsi que les visites et randos ! Programme complet. Mention ++ pour la rapidité de réponse. C'est une expérience que nous pourrions réitérer. MERCI

Première expérience pour nous avec Vialala, et pas des moindres puisque nous avons fait un road trip à travers l'Italie avec nos enfants. Natacha nous a concocté un voyage aux petits oignons, adapté à notre demande et à l'âge de nos enfants. Tout était adapté et parfait : les villes visitées, la durée, les monuments sélectionnés, les transports. Bref aucune fausse note et quel gain de temps et d'énergie pour nous. Plus qu'à se laisser porter et visiter ce magnifique pays en famille. Nous recommandons sans hésiter.

Un immense merci à Vialala pour ce road trip incroyable. L’itinéraire nous a fait découvrir de véritables pépites locales tout en nous offrant les paysages spectaculaires du Maroc. Tout s est très bien passé. Au delà de nos attentes ! C'est rare de trouver ce niveau de personnalisation et d’attention ….On rentre avec des étoiles plein les yeux et des souvenirs qui resteront gravés. Une organisation avec du cœur et une vraie expertise locale ! On pense déjà au voyage de l année prochaine !

Update - May 2026 : nouvelle experience plus que réussie. Pour faire simple Vialala = personnalisation + expertise + service + prix malins. Je ne compte plus les voyages avec eux. À la liste précédente s’ajoutent la Sicile, New York et le Japon. Cette fois-ci, je reviens d’un road trip en Harley et 4x4 au Maroc. À huit. Nous avons tout eu du B&B improbable à Tafraoute au palace à Marrakech, cols de l’Atlas, Anti Atlas. Que des conseils de malade que ce soit les itinéraires ou les bonnes adresses. Cahier des charges compliqué, logistique compliquée et le tout à été délivré sans accrocs dans un budget serré. J’adore leur approche. Pas un télé opérateur qui vend des produits, c’est comme un ami qui aurait vécu sur place. (Revue 2023) Vialala nous a fait découvrir Cuba, l’Ecosse, Montréal et bientôt le Botswana. A chaque fois ils ont été au top. La grosse différence c’est le niveau de personnalisation qui avoisine un service de conciergerie. On ne s’arrête pas à un programme avec eux. Si le temps change et que telle activité n’est plus possible, leur trip planner est là pour revoir le programme. Si on a besoin d’un service logistique ou d’un conseil pour un resto une fois sur place c’est pareil. Franchement une super formule. Merci

Calgary is naturally the perfect base camp for your adventure in Western Canada. This dynamic city, located just 90 minutes by car from Banff, allows you to serenely organize your journey before diving into the breathtaking landscapes of the Canadian Rockies.
Calgary International Airport serves many European destinations, making your arrival in Canada easier. Once there, you will discover a modern city where cowboy traditions mingle with contemporary skyscrapers. The downtown area is full of vehicle rental agencies, outdoor equipment stores, and shops for your last-minute purchases before the big departure.
Our local Travel Planners know this region perfectly and will advise you on the best routes according to your desires. Whether you prefer mountain hiking, wildlife watching, or cultural experiences, your Calgary road trip will be fully customized.
Calgary's strategic position also opens doors to varied destinations: Banff and Jasper national parks to the north, Kananaskis Provincial Park to the west, or the Drumheller Badlands to the east. This geographical diversity greatly enriches the possibilities of your 15-day stay in Canada.
Your two-week adventure in Canada deserves a carefully orchestrated itinerary to fully enjoy Alberta's treasures. Our local experts have designed a balanced route alternating between natural discoveries, outdoor activities, and relaxation moments.
Your journey begins with two days of exploration in Calgary and its surroundings. The city has many surprises in store: stroll through the historic district of Kensington, climb to the top of the Calgary Tower to admire the Rockies on the horizon, and visit the Heritage Park Historical Village to understand Alberta's history.
The third day marks the real beginning of your road trip with the route to Canmore. This charming town nestled in the Bow River Valley provides an excellent introduction to mountain landscapes. The Three Sisters, a trio of emblematic peaks, majestically dominate the locality.
Banff National Park then welcomes you for four intense days. Lake Louise, dubbed the "jewel of the Rockies," dazzles with its turquoise waters reflecting the surrounding glaciers. Moraine Lake, accessible only in summer, offers an equally striking spectacle with its ten snow-capped peaks mirroring the lake.
The village of Banff becomes your base for exploring Johnston Canyon and its spectacular waterfalls, or for climbing Sulphur Mountain via the Banff Gondola. This cable car lifts you to 2,281 meters, unveiling a 360-degree panorama of six mountain ranges.
The eighth day leads you to one of the most spectacular roads in the world: the Icefields Parkway. This Highway 93 connects Lake Louise to Jasper over 232 kilometers of sheer magic. Bow Lake, Peyto Lake, and their unreal colors punctuate this legendary journey.
The stop at Columbia Icefield is a highlight of your stay. This ice field, a relic of the last ice age, feeds three different oceans. The Ice Explorer experience allows you to tread on the Athabasca Glacier, while the Glacier Skywalk offers thrilling sensations above the void.
Jasper National Park offers you three days of wonder. Maligne Lake, the largest natural lake in the Canadian Rockies, houses the famous Spirit Island. This small wooded island, accessible only by boat, is among the most photographed sites in Canada.
Athabasca Falls impress with their power, sculpting quartzite rocks for millennia. Mount Edith Cavell and its glacial lake provide memorable hikes, while the Jasper SkyTram lifts you to 2,263 meters to contemplate the vastness of the park.
Your last three days explore Kananaskis Country, a wild region less frequented than the national parks. This provincial conservation area appeals to nature lovers with its preserved valleys and accessible peaks.
The Canmore area offers excellent hikes to Grassi Lakes or Ha Ling Peak. These escapes reward your efforts with breathtaking views of the Bow River Valley and surrounding peaks.
Your road trip concludes with a gradual return to Calgary, with possible stops in the small towns of Cochrane or Okotoks. These rural communities preserve the authentic atmosphere of Alberta, between ranches and western traditions.
Your 15-day adventure in Canada wouldn't be complete without certain iconic experiences. Our Travel Planners have selected activities that leave a lasting impression on travelers.
Lake Minnewanka, the largest lake in Banff National Park, offers guided cruises revealing the geological history of the region. Its deep waters host remarkable aquatic wildlife, while its shores provide pleasant hiking trails.
Yoho National Park, neighboring Banff, is certainly worth a detour. Emerald Lake lives up to its name with its stunning emerald-green waters, framed by towering rock walls. Takakkaw Falls, standing 373 meters tall, is one of Canada's most spectacular waterfalls.
Observing wildlife is one of the great pleasures of your stay. Black bears, grizzlies, elk, bighorn sheep, and mountain goats inhabit these preserved territories. Our local guides know the best observation spots according to the seasons and times of the day.
Natural hot springs pleasantly punctuate your journey. Radium Hot Springs in Kootenay National Park and Miette Hot Springs near Jasper offer well-deserved relaxation moments after your exploration days.
Here are the approximate distances between the main destinations of your road trip:
| Route | Distance | Driving Time |
|---|---|---|
| Calgary - Banff | 128 km | 1h30 |
| Banff - Lake Louise | 58 km | 45 min |
| Lake Louise - Jasper | 233 km | 3h30 |
| Jasper - Calgary | 366 km | 4h15 |
| Calgary - Canmore | 106 km | 1h15 |
The success of your Calgary road trip depends on careful preparation. Our Vialala experts share their tips to optimize your stay in the Canadian Rockies.
The ideal period extends from June to September, with peak attendance in July-August. Summer temperatures range between 15°C and 25°C during the day but can drop drastically at night, especially at high altitudes. Plan clothing suitable for thermal variations.
Your rental vehicle should be adapted to mountain conditions. An SUV or a 4x4 vehicle is recommended for some secondary roads in Kananaskis Country. Always check the condition of your tires and keep a spare wheel in good condition.
Accommodation reservations are made several months in advance, especially for hotels located in national parks. Our Travel Planners negotiate preferential rates and select the best-placed establishments according to your itinerary.
The Discovery Pass, valid in all Canadian national parks, represents a cost-effective investment for your stay. This annual pass costs 136.40 CAD per vehicle and saves you the daily entry fees in each park.
Budget-wise, expect to spend between 150 and 300 CAD per day per person depending on your desired comfort level. This estimate includes accommodation, meals, fuel, and main activities. Restaurants in national parks charge high prices; consider shopping at supermarkets in Calgary or Canmore.
Winter driving requires special precautions. Between November and April, winter tires become mandatory on some sections. Weather conditions change rapidly in the mountains; regularly check Parks Canada's bulletins.
Your first aid kit should contain essentials: bandages, disinfectant, pain relievers, and personal medications. Add a survival blanket, a headlamp, and energy bars for hikes.
The Parks Canada app greatly facilitates your stay by providing detailed maps, trail conditions, and practical information. Download it before your departure and synchronize offline maps.
The optimal period ranges from June to September to fully enjoy mountain roads and outdoor activities. July and August offer the best weather conditions but also coincide with the tourist high season. September offers the advantage of spectacular autumn colors with fewer crowds, while June allows you to witness the snow melting and waterfalls at their peak.
The budget varies significantly based on your accommodation and activity choices. Count on spending between 2,100 and 4,200 CAD per person for 15 days, including vehicle rental, gas, lodging, meals, and main activities. Camping significantly reduces costs, while luxury hotels in national parks substantially increase the budget. Our Vialala Travel Planners tailor the itinerary to your budget.
Advance booking is essential, particularly between June and September. Hotels located in Banff and Jasper National Parks are fully booked several months in advance. Campsites in national parks open their reservations 5 months prior to the arrival date and fill up quickly. Our local experts secure your accommodations as soon as your trip is confirmed to avoid any inconvenience.
