Itinerary
Day 1:
Arrival in Whistler
Tour Orientation and Meet & Greet Dinner.
Day 2:
Whistler to Sun Peaks
We leave Whistler heading north on Highway 99, the Sea to Sky Highway. We pass through Pemberton and climb beside the teal waters of Lillooet Lake along the Duffey Lake Road. After winding through the lush Coast Mountains, the climate becomes arid as we enter the gold rush country. With the sun at our back, we follow the Cayoosh Canyon west to Lillooet, where we join roads that follow two of the great rivers of BC: the Fraser and the Thompson. Past the Ginseng fields of the benchlands, we end our day at another famous mountain retreat: Sun Peaks Resort.
Day 3:
Sun Peaks to Jasper
Our next stop takes us north to the heart of the powerful Canadian Rocky Mountains and the stunning scenery of Jasper.
Day 4:
Day off in Jasper
This day offers a chance to explore the beauty of Jasper National Park on foot, by tram, by bicycle or by a motorcycle ride to Maligne Lake or Miette Hotsprings, where the abundance of wildlife has to be seen to be believed.
Day 5:
Jasper to Banff
Our ride then turns south along the “Icefields Parkway,” through glacier country. “The views are truly unparalleled,” said Robert Smith of Moto-Euro when he travelled this road. Next stop: Banff, one of Canada’s true gems. There we stay at the brand new Fox Hotel & Suites.
Day 6:
Banff to Fernie
The following day provides a memorable ride through the wide valled and towering peaks of Kananaskis Country. Huge, undisturbed mountain vistas and wildlife sightings are numerous in this area. Our evening is spent soaking in mountain pools at the base of Fernie Mountain.

Following a ride along the twisting shoreline of Kootenay Lake, we stop in the historic town of Nelson.

Day 9:
Nelson to Osoyoos
The next morning we stay on Highway 3 winding our way into the Okanagan valley, as we encounter Canada’s only desert for our second to last stop in Osoyoos. That evening we spend lakeside back in the beautiful Okanagan Valley, with a stopover at the brand new Spirit Ridge Resort.
Day 10:
Day off in Osoyoos
Plenty of options are available to fill the rest day. Besides riding though the vineyards of the Okanagan, there are many lakeside activities, wine tours, golf, or places to simply enjoy some quality time by the pool or the lake.
