Capilano Suspension Bridge
One of the most famous attractions in Vancouver is the Capilano Suspension Bridge. This bridge hovers 70 meters above the river and extends over an impressive length of 137 meters. For a breathtaking experience, you can also walk the Cliffwalk, a 215-meter-long path along the steep walls of the Capilano Canyon, consisting of bridges, platforms, and stairs.
The Athabasca Glacier
In the southern part of Jasper National Park, along the Icefields Parkway, lies the Columbia Icefield, one of the largest ice masses north of the Arctic Circle. Discover the impressive Athabasca Glacier with the Ice Explorer, a vehicle specially designed to drive on ice and snow. During the ride, you have the opportunity to disembark and walk on the glacier yourself.
Banff National Park
With snow-covered mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and lush forests, Banff National Park is an enchanting destination. Explore the most beautiful sights of Banff and the associated national park via the picturesque Icefields and Bow Valley Parkways.

Travel Documents
All Belgian nationals travelling on a Belgian passport (children and babies included) must be in possession of an international e-passport (electronic) containing min. 2 blank pages, valid for at least 1 day after their return home. All travellers to Canada must purchase an eTA or electronic Travel Authorisation online via the official website cic.gc.ca/english/visit/index.asp prior to entering Canadian territory via its airports. Price: 7 CAD or +/- 5 Euros. Your eTA is valid for 5 years and linked to your passport number. This implies that as soon as your passport expires, so does your eTA.
To save time at Customs and Immigration in Canada, you can download the CanBorder eDeclaration app before your arrival. You will then receive a QR-code that remains valid for 24 hours. Thanks to the scanning of the QR code, you do not have to re-enter your data on the screen at the Customs counters. You can download via the Apple Store app or Google Play app.
Please note: A credit card is required upon check-in at the hotels and also when renting a car. All cross-border travellers with the USA must on top be in possession of an international passport and an ESTA. The digital passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the set date of your return flight. The electronic travel authorization must be purchased online by means of a personal credit card via the official link https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/ (14 USD on 20JAN2015). Your ESTA is valid for max. 2 years. Should your international passport expire within that period, so does your ESTA as it is linked to your passport number. We strongly recommend you to print out the Esta- or Eta permit and to have it on you while you travel to avoid problems.
Travellers with a non-Belgian nationality and / or travellers travelling on a foreign passport are invited to spontaneously report this matter to the Connections travel consultant and shall contact their respective embassy (s) or Consulate (ate) to obtain the latest updates concerning all current travel requirements and documents.
