Maps, address, photos & my personal advise on my blog:
I decided to visit my friends from Holland who were exploring the Canadian Rockies with their RV, before chasing them down in Banff I treated myself on the most famous hot dog in Canada at Tubby Dog and tried to break the glass floor at the Calgary Tower.
Photos, guide, maps & details on my blog:
It was such a memorable experience meeting my Dutch friends on the other side of the world so we decided to do it up proper with a family BBQ and a few local brewski's, namely the Powder Hound by The Grizzly Paw which is a local brewery in Canmore, Alberta.
On our first adventure we left in the early morning to take the Banff Gondola to Sulphur Mountain, one of the most mesmerizing views of Banff. Make sure to fill up prior on a classic Canadian breakfast at Tim Hortons, the Canadian way.
The next adventure was a private helicopter ride at Rockies Heli Canada who took us from Kananaskis through the Rocky Mountains. It was a gorgeous clear day which resulted in excellent video footage. We even saw the same river where they shot the movie: The Revenant.
What also amazed us were the buck loads of wildlife passing by the RV throughout our stay at Banff's tunnel mountain campgrounds.
In next week's article I will give you all the details on our adventure at Lake Louise were I completed an 11 hour, 20 kilometer hike, thus best is to relax and relieve your sore muscles at Banff Upper Hot Springs after that trip.
In conclusion we were very fortunate that we had excellent weather with blue skies the entire trip. I highly recommend visiting Calgary, Banff & Lake Louise in the first week of June for the best experience.

Best Ski Resorts for late season SNOW & spring SKING | Travel Nfx
Book Your Hotel at very cheap Price - 10 Best Ski Resorts for late season snow & spring skiing
Afraid you might have missed your chance to hit the slopes this year? Fear not! Here are 10 of the best resorts still open if you're looking for some late season ski action, plus tips on spring (and summer) skiing...
Why go skiing in spring-summer?
It's cheaper. Late season is low season, so lift passes and accommodation cost considerably less than during mid-winter. Read more of our tips on how to save on ski holidays here.
It’s quieter. Skiing and snowboarding in late season means fewer people on the slopes, and less chance of lift queues.
It’s sunnier! (Generally-speaking) expect more sun, longer daylight hours, and longer lift opening times; enjoy the bbqs and beer drinking that takes place on the sun terraces of slope-side cafes and bars. However, it's not uncommon to get heavy snow even in May, so always come prepared for cold weather!
Tips for late season trips
Head high, or head north. The higher the altitude of the ski area, the colder it is, and therefore the longer the snow lasts, so ideally, aim for resorts that have skiing at 2000m or above.
If the resort incorporates a glacier, even better, as this may mean that skiing is possible almost all year round – albeit on limited terrain and short pistes.
Keep an eye on snow depths which can vary considerably from year to year and can make all the difference between a short or long ski season. Check your chosen resort’s website for the latest.
Top 10 late season ski resorts
1. Val Thorens, France
As Europe’s highest ski resort, most of the skiing here is over 2000m, which means the snow keeps cooler for longer and the lifts keep running until early May. Part of the huge Three Valleys ski area, Val Thorens is an excellent bet for good snow conditions even late in the season. You won't run out of alternative activities either: from mountain biking on the snow to paragliding way above it. LibreEnvol Paragliding School is located at Chalet Caron in Val Thorens and offers tandem paragliding from the top of the Boismint run. Looking for somewhere off the beaten slope? We've rounded up some of the best kept secrets in ski holidays to France.
2. Riksgransen, Sweden
Lying 200km above the Arctic Circle on the border with Norway, Riksgransen is one of the world’s most northerly ski resorts and offers the opportunity to ski in the Land of the Midnight Sun, as the days barely get dark in the summer. The best conditions are found later in the season, the lifts here don’t stop running until the end of June and people have been known to ski in shorts! Grab a self-catered stay at Katterjokk Apartments near the Katterjåkk Train Station and you'll be less than 500 metres from the slopes.
3. Åre, Sweden
Sweden’s number one resort, which also claims to be northern Europe’s largest and most advanced, Åre boasts a season that starts in November and lasts until May. With 100 pistes to enjoy plus night skiing too, Åre is a popular choice for late season skiing. Unwind at the Fjällgården Spa and you can lounge in an outdoor hot tub at 556 metres, overlooking the valley and the frozen Åresjön Lake. Bringing your own skis?
4. Tignes, France
A ski resort with a glacier, winter sports enthusiasts can continue skiing until early May in the main resort at Tignes. Summer skiing on the glacier then starts in June, which offers an impressive 20kms of runs and a vertical drop of over 750m. Tignes is split into three areas but if you're looking for on-hand après-ski drinks, The Marmot Arms in Le Lac is a fun choice with plenty of Happy Hour deals, just next to the Palafour chairlift.
5. Zermatt, Switzerland
This famous Swiss ski resort within sight of the mighty Matterhorn has lifts that take you up to 3899m, and offers skiing till early May before the summer skiing begins on the glacier, meaning that Zermatt is one of the few, truly year-round ski destinations in the world. As a result, the car-free town centre is always full of bustling Alpine atmosphere, with a good range of restaurant and accommodation options. If you're coming by road, park in the village of Tasch, 5 miles away and catch the free shuttle.
6. Saas Fee, Switzerland
With a ski area that sits between 1800m and 3500m and has access to a glacier, Sass Fee offers late-season skiers plenty of snow, whilst at the same time has the chocolate-box charm not always found in other high-altitude resorts. Found near the Italian border, it's also home to Switzerland's highest restaurant, DrehrestaurantAllalin at Mittelallalin (catch the Metro Alpin from Saas Fee) which revolves to give you a ever-changing panorama of mountains as you sip your glühwein, and even claims a view as far as Milan on a clear day.
7. Livigno, Italy
8. Gassan, Japan
9. Whistler-Blackcomb, Canada
10. Mammoth, California

America's Best Fall Getaways (Fall Foliage and Travel Video)
America's best fall getaways that showcase beautiful fall colors and foliage - Sedona, Arizona, Litchfield, Bucks County and Great Smoky Mountains.
I'd like to show you the top fall destinations in the United States.
Sedona, Arizona, known for its majestic beauty, is home to winding, gorgeous hiking trails and canyons. In the fall, the trails are surrounded by stunning leaves hanging from some of the most towering trees visitors can expect to see. Serene natural water, running streams bypassing stones small and large create awe inspiring calmness. A trip through Sedona in the fall, where massive rocks, flowing waters, contrasting colors and natural beauty await, will surely make a lasting impression.
Litchfield Hills, Connecticut is a quaint New England area, offering scenic fall views and charming amenities. Rolling hills, colorful tree lined countryside landscapes, and crystal clear rivers are what make this place a unique fall destination. Its beauty amazes tourists and locals alike with just a walk along one of the various trails or a drive through this historic gem.
Bucks County, Pennsylvania, is an original fall attraction. Sprawling farmlands, lakes surrounded by colorful maple and oak trees allow for an old fashioned American traveling experience. Several historic buildings yield a nostalgically attractive habitat. Bucks County houses state parks and recreation areas permitting walking or biking trips. A trip through this picturesque community provides a truly memorable autumn adventure.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina is a widely known and visited fall haven. Encompassed by mountain views, miles upon miles of trails, and rapidly flowing luminous water, this Park accommodates for a one of a kind, genuine experience. The park maintains several historic districts, campsites and a seemingly endless forest of trees possessing deeply pigmented leaves. The fall sights, scents, and memories that can be encountered here will unquestionably remain in one's heart.
Grassi Lakes
We hike the Grassi Lakes trail near Canmore, Alberta. The water at the top was spectacular!
