Living the dream one weekend at a time
Want to do a supported bike ride in the Canadian Rockies with your friends but the logistics of it all getting you down?
Simply find a few friends who would like a challenge, some amazing scenery and a bit of fresh air and we'll look after the rest.
You'll get to ride down some of the most spectacular mountain highways in the world. The nice thing is you'll be travelling at a pace where you'll absorb so much more of your surroundings than whizzing past it all with your nose pressed against a car or bus window at 90 Km's per hour.
This is not your average vacation and you'll be telling your friends about this adventure for years to come.
Mountain Madness Tours has a secure enclosed trailer specifically designed to transport your pride and joy (bike that is) from Edmonton or Calgary to the mountains.
We'll transport you and your bikes to the start point, support your ride and get you home again.
No need to carry luggage, food and supplies on the side of your bike or on your back. Ride free and easy with our supported bike tours.
We'll drive ahead 10 Km's or so at a time and leave you to cycle in peace and quiet at your pace. We'll be just around the corner in case you need some food, drink, a bit of a rest or some shelter if the weather doesn't co-operate at any time during the day.
This really could be your last year to ride the Rockies without all the regular tourists!
There’s minimal traffic, brand new pavement, more wildlife, and you can hear the sounds of the Rockies like never before.
We’ve adjusted our procedures to follow the new safety measures and are ready to support your tour.
For 2022 Tours we're allowing full refunds on deposits and final payments to add more flexibility than ever before. You can now book into one of our tours knowing we've got your back in case things change.

Overview
Tour Operator Mountain Madness Tours
Cycling Jasper to Highwood Pass through two National Parks and a Provincial Park over Six days is the ultimate cycling tour in Western Canada.
An incredible setting in which to challenge yourself physically and mentally, yet find the ability to let go and immerse yourself in the rejuvenation of the Rockies.
The tour begins with a few leisurely rides and some sightseeing or activities in and around Jasper National Park and the relaxed mountain town of Jasper. On day 2 we’ll start our journey on the world famous Icefields Parkway. This relaxing introduction will warm you up nicely for the longer and more challenging days ahead. The next two days see us cross into Banff National Park and visit the iconic Lake Louise. A quiet back road will see us cruise into Banff on the undulating Bow Valley Parkway and the Legacy trail bike bath into Canmore. From here we’ll continue onto Kananaskis Country.
The last epic day on the bike will take us over the Highwood Pass (the highest paved road in Canada) to the cowboy town of Longview. We’ll have a celebratory beer and meal at the local pub before driving you back to Calgary that evening for your flight home the next day.
The mountain scenery is truly breathtaking and the slower pace offered by the bicycle means there is ample time to appreciate it. You’ll take in the views, snap lots of photos, have a few rest breaks - and we’ll still arrive at our nightly destinations with time to spare. Relax in the evenings with a hot bath or a beverage enjoyed in the blaze of a mountain sunset, or explore the nearby sights and views on foot. Staying in the unique and cozy hotels along the way will give you the extra comfort each night that you deserve. You’ve worked hard during the day, and we love giving you time to pamper yourself in the evening.
