Mt. Assiniboine Provincial Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Canadian Rockies, is famous for its meadows and easy hiking peaks which lie below the Matterhorn-like summit that towers above.

This relaxed hiking programme is for those interested in experiencing four days of walking in this beautiful sub-alpine region of the Rockies. There are not many areas where it is possible to hike in such an amazing place and yet avoid carrying a heavy backpack. You will take a helicopter flight into the park, which is an added excitement.

Once in the park, walk among meadows and turquoise lakes. Hike up through golden larch trees and along the ridges above and take in the views from a sun-baked summit!

"Everything went like clockwork,"

I have not long returned from my fly-drive holiday to Canada and thought I should take the opportunity to thank you and all the other staff I have dealt with at Frontier Canada, for your help in making our holiday a success and memorable trip. Everything went like clockwork, the directions you supplied were excellent and the hotels just got better and better as the trip progressed. I think I can safely say I will be using you again when I plan my next road trip to North America.
