Chloe Annabelle
If you're dreaming about a winter wonderland with some of the most epic landscapes, the Canadian Rockies are calling you! Between scenic drives through the mountains, frozen waterfalls and lakes you can walk on, it will be an adventure you will not forget.
This guide is best suited for road trip enthusiasts and avid travelers who are limited in time but want to make the most of it (for a long weekend for example). Expect a fast pace and lots of driving, but it will be absolutely worth it!
This guide includes a detailed 3 day itinerary based on my own road trip done in March 2024, with accommodations, places to eat, hikes and sight suggestions. Everything you need in one place, so you can focus on enjoying your trip!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Chloe Annabelle
Hi there! I'm Chloe, a 27 years old girl born and raised in France. I'm OBSESSED with trip planning, from my first road trip planned in Ireland when I was 18 to this day, it really became a passion of mine. Literally before even learning about this platform, all my trips were already planned exactly as you can find them here!
I thoroughly traveled Europe until I crossed the Atlantic in 2022, where I did a 6 months solo trip through Canada, where I'm now based in. So if you're planning a trip pretty much anywhere in Canada, I got you!
When it comes to my travel style, I wouldn't call myself a backpacker, as I enjoy a bit too much a minimum of comfort. But always on a budget! My main focuses are sightseeing on road trips, outdoor activities, hiking, as well as city trips (I'm an architect so I always keep an eye out for some cool buildings). To be honest, you won't find me much relaxing. I'm a quite fast paced traveler, I always want to see as much as possible in a limited time!
My motto is: "if I'm not more tired than I was before going on a trip, I haven't enjoyed enough of it" :D
