Spend a full guided winter day linking snow tubing at Mt Norquay with a visit to frozen Lake Louise and free time in Banff town. The itinerary balances a lively tubing session with iconic Rockies scenery and an easy Alberta mountain town finish.
After meeting in Calgary you travel west into the mountains for a guided snow tubing session on groomed lanes at Mt Norquay, with a conveyor lift for repeated runs. The pace is social and easy to follow, with your guide keeping the group together through briefing, runs and departure timing.
From there the day shifts to quieter scenery at frozen Lake Louise for lakeside walks and photos, then free time in Banff for cafés, shops and dinner before the return coach to Calgary. Exact stop lengths can flex with traffic, weather and how long each activity runs.
Calgary is the practical starting base, with Banff National Park destinations a scenic drive west through foothills into the Rockies. Mt Norquay sits above Banff and hosts the tubing lanes, so you reach the snow without needing a separate resort transfer plan.
Lake Louise is one of the Rockies' most photographed alpine lakes, especially striking when frozen and snow-bound, with peaks and forest framing the shoreline. Banff town then offers restaurants and shops after the outdoor stops, so the day finishes with an easy mountain-town wind-down.
No special snow sports skills are required. You should be comfortable spending a long winter day outdoors with coach travel between stops and walking on snowy or icy paths at Lake Louise.
Children from age four may join with supervising adults. Parents should judge whether a full coach-and-sightseeing day in cold weather will suit their children, and mention any mobility concerns when booking so the team can advise honestly.
You get a clear one-day circuit of three different winter experiences without planning separate bookings for tubing, Lake Louise and Banff. Local guiding and a paced schedule keep the focus on enjoying the mountains rather than logistics.
Calgary pickup, return road transport from the meeting point, and an on-the-ground guide mean you can settle into the day knowing the route, timings and regroup points are already sorted.
Gather at 409 7 Ave SE in Calgary for a short welcome and day brief. Once everyone is checked in, board the tour transport for the drive west toward Banff National Park. Use the journey to settle in, ask questions and get oriented for the mountain stops ahead.
Arrive at Mt Norquay for your snow tubing session on groomed lanes with Rockies views. Follow the resort briefing, then take as many runs as your session allows, using the conveyor lift to return uphill between slides. Stay with the group timings so you leave on schedule for Lake Louise.
Continue to Lake Louise for time beside the frozen lake, with surrounding peaks and forest as the backdrop. Walk, take photos and warm up with an optional hot drink or meal nearby at your own expense if you wish. Keep an eye on the reunite time your guide sets for the Banff leg.
Finish with free time in Banff town for boutiques, cafés and a meal if you want one before returning to Calgary. Your guide will confirm the meeting point and departure window for the drive back. Approximate door-to-door length for the full day is around 11 hours, subject to traffic and conditions.

No. Snow tubing is designed to be accessible if you are comfortable sitting on a tube and following staff guidance on the lanes. There is a conveyor lift to return up the slope, so you do not need to hike the hill between runs.

If a pass is required and not included, your guide or confirmation email will explain how to arrange it before or on the day.
Dress in warm layers suitable for a full winter day outdoors, including a waterproof jacket, gloves, hat and insulated footwear with good grip. Sunglasses or goggles help in bright snow glare.
Bring a reusable water bottle, snacks if you want them between stops, and a payment card for any optional food or shopping in Banff or at Lake Louise. A small daypack keeps essentials easy to carry.
The minimum age is four years old. Families are welcome within the group size limit, and tubing is generally suitable for younger travellers when an adult supervises them closely on the lanes.
Parents should judge whether a long coach-and-sightseeing day in cold weather will suit their children. Ask in advance if you are booking with very young guests.
Winter mountain weather can affect road conditions, tubing lane operations and how long each stop runs. Your guide will adapt the day where needed and keep you updated on timings.
If severe weather means the tour cannot run as planned, the team will be in touch with the options available for that situation.
