CANADIAN ROCKIES
The Canadian Rockies mountain range spans the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta and is a region filled with jaw-dropping scenery of snow-capped peaks, glaciers, turquoise lakes, and wildlife. Take a tour along the iconic Icefields Parkway that stretches from Banff to Jasper National Parks, do a backpacking trip that takes you into the backcountry to explore the beautiful surroundings, or practice your climbing skills on one of numerous routes available in the Rockies. The Canadian Rockies also offers several more technically challenging climbing and mountaineering objectives for alpinists looking to put their skills to practice.
MOUNT VICTORIA
Located in Lake Louise, Mount Victoria (3,464m) is a classic mountaineering objective in the Canadian Rockies. This glaciated peak has the distinction of being one of the most photographed mountains in the Rockies. There are two commonly used routes for Mt. Victoria – the classic SE Ridge starting from Abbot Hut and the West Face (descent route for Huber traverse).
MOUNT ASSINIBOINE
The highest peak in the Southern Canadian Rockies, Mount Assiniboine (3,618m) is often referred to as the "Matterhorn of the Canadian Rockies" due to its distinctive pyramidal shape. This aesthetically striking mountain is a challenging climb that must be done in the right weather conditions when the rock is dry.
