The road bike ride from Jasper to Banff is one of the world’s best bike rides. Joining this fully-supported tour means you don’t have to drag a heavy, pannier-filled bike along this trip. Instead, you have a support van full of great snacks, clean clothes and spare parts in case you have a mechanical breakdown.
This is an experience to last a lifetime, and biking along the Icefields Parkway is perhaps the best way to explore this incredibly wild part of the world. Beginning in Jasper, you will cycle through valleys, past mountains, beside lakes, and view stunning waterfalls. Along the way, the support van and driver will show you special overlooks, viewpoints and other highlights along this incredible ride. You’ll also have great snacks and meals, with regular stops where you can recover some strength and eagerly share the excitement of the beautiful country you have just ridden through.
While each day is spectacular, the ride to Lake Louise on Day 3 is especially rewarding, and typically the group takes an evening trip to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise for spectacular views as the sunsets. It really doesn’t get any better. Except it does, the last day ride into Banff has stupendous views along Vermillion Lakes, and is a triumphant end to an epic adventure. If you are in reasonable fitness and like riding a bike, you can probably do this trip!

This tour is based in Hotels. You'll be staying in a different hotel day by day.
Hotels on this trip are 2 and 3-star hotels and offer modern conveniences that can make this trip more pleasant. Rooms may have fireplaces or access to amenities such as hot tubs, steam rooms, or private decks to lounge on. Rooms are double occupancy, and single travellers will pay a supplement.
Single Rooms and Solo Travelers
You can pay a supplement to have a private room in hotels as a solo traveler. In some cases, there may be other solo travellers, and if desired we can try to match you with participants of the same sex.
How hard is the bike ride from Jasper to Banff on the Icefields Parkway?
We rate this tour as a 3 / 5. For many guests this is the longest bike ride they’ve ever done. Should you get tired you can ride in the van for parts of the tour, such as up and over high mountain passes.
Do I need a Visa?
Check with your local country about visa requirements for travel to Canada. You could also try this website, though you should verify with your government.
Are meals included?
3 breakfasts, 2 lunches and 3 dinners are included.
Do I need insurance?
Yes, it is mandatory to have Health and Medical insurance to join this trip. You can get travel insurance here.
How do I get to Jasper or Edmonton to start this tour?
Make your own way to Jasper or Edmonton to start this tour. If you want to start in Edmonton, arrive the day before. You will get a transfer to Jasper on the support Van. The transfer from the airport to your hotel is not included.
Are the tours in English?
Yes, the Van driver / tour leader is English speaking (and a heck of a lot of fun!)
Where does the tour end?
The tour ends either in Banff or Canmore, depending on how far you want to ride. Many guests spend additional time in the Banff / Canmore region. The support Van continues back to Calgary International Airport (YYC) and then Edmonton International Airport (YEG) should you want to fly out. It is recommended to fly out late out of Calgary or Edmonton on your last day of the tourus before booking your flight out to confirm what time we will make it to your airport. The tour typically drives through Calgary between 2-4pm and Edmonton 6-7pm.
Can I rent a bike?
Yes you can rent a Felt VR30 Road Bike. There are also Electric Pedal Assist Bikes.
Can I bring my own bike?
Yes you can.
Do I need vaccines?
Vaccines are not typically required for travel to Canada, but check with your family doctor.
How do I get back to Jasper after the tour?
If you need to return to Jasper at the end of the tour, local transportation options such as Brewster and Sundog run a daily service from Calgary through Canmore, Banff, and Lake Louise to Jasper. Please check their respective websites for timetables and pricing information. If bringing your own bike and looking into this option you will likely need to pack it up into a box for these shuttle services back to Jasper. We can provide high quality rental bikes to help save you this hassle if you prefer.
What is the usual group size?
The usual group size is up to 11 people, which keeps these tours small and intimate.
What is the elevation profile like? Will there be lots of climbing and descending?
The tour starts at around 1000m above sea level in Jasper and finish at about 1400m above sea level in Banff. There are two high passes to cross between these two towns on the four-day tour. These mountain passes are about 2000m above sea level. Most of the climbs with the exception of one are gradual at an average of 4 – 5%
Is this a mountain bike tour? Will we be riding off road?
No. This bike tour will be riding along the Icefields parkway (Jasper to Lake Louise), Bow Valley Parkway (Lake Louise to Banff) and the Legacy Trail bike path (into Banff and onto Canmore). These are paved (sealed) roads not accessible to through truck traffic but used by sightseeing tourists in cars and RV’s. There is a wide shoulder adjacent to the driving lanes along 90% of the route. The pavement is in good condition for the majority of the way although subject to change each season. In the few sections where the shoulder narrows the guide will aim to notify the group of the upcoming conditions and give advice on safe riding technique so that we can safely share the road with other traffic. For some parts of the tour you may have to ride single file in order to share the road with other users.
What type of bike should I bring on the tour?
A road bike (thin tires) is the most efficient bike for this tour, giving you the most speed for minimum effort. There are a number of hills and climbs on the route so a bike with appropriate gearing for your fitness and strength level is also recommended. A cross bike, cruiser or even mountain bikes are okay although we recommend you install slick tires (rather than the knobbly mountain bike tires) before the tour to make your life easier. If you rent a bike through us it will be a lightweight road bike with thin tires, appropriate gearing, drop down handle bars.
What type of mechanical support is available during the tour?
While it is your responsibility to ensure your bike is in sound mechanical shape prior to the tour departing Edmonton, our guides do have basic mechanical skills and we will have the necessary tools on board the bike trailer for basic repairs such as replacing tires, tubes, fixing broken chains, tightening loose components, etc. We may not however have specialized or unique replacement components onboard or very specific tools required for more complicated repairs. If you are bringing your own bike we strongly recommend you take it to your local bike shop for a thorough pre-tour inspection. If you are renting a bike from us this will be taken care of for you. We will aim to have a spare bike in the trailer if space allows to swap out in the case of a repair being too complicated to fix enroute.
How far is it between Jasper and Banff?
It is 288 km between Jasper and Banff.
Do I need to tip my tour guides?
Tipping in Canada is customary, but much appreciated. Ideally, you should tip each guide 5-10 CAD per day (from one person) for an excellent service.
