Reducing our altitude we will fly you into the Coup de grace of the tour – The 6 Glaciers. Cline Glacier White Goat Glacier Lion Glacier Lioness Glacier Resolute Glacier Hanging Glacier From the glaciers, you are off to Michelle Lakes. The Twin lakes is divided by a 50 ft (15m) waterfall which homes the beautiful Golden Trout. Michelle lakes is at an elevation of 7,545 ft (2299m). The lake then leads to a 900 ft (275m) waterfall that plunges into Waterfalls Creek. Following Waterfalls Creek back to the Cline River Valley we will fly by the White Goat Provincial Park. Looking to the east tucked up one of the valleys is a mountain that is an oxidized orange mountain due to the ferric iron content. Starting our long descent to the heliport you will view the beautiful vista of the glacial blue water of Abraham Lake.

Helicopter tours in Banff, Alberta
A helicopter is one of the few ways to take in the full scale of Banff National Park's peaks, glaciers, and turquoise lakes at once, rather than the slice of it visible from any single road or trail.
When's the best time to fly?
Flights run year round. June to September brings the clearest skies and greenest valleys, while the rest of the year trades that for dramatic snow-capped peaks and more weather-related delays.
What should I bring?
Warm layers regardless of season, since mountain weather and wind chill at altitude can catch visitors off guard.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Like most operators, tours in Banff have standard weight and balance limits (you may be asked your weight when booking or checking in), and pilots will delay or reschedule rather than fly in unsafe wind, low visibility, or storms. Booking a tour with free cancellation means a weather delay won't cost you anything.
