Day Off

Explore Banff National Park on Thursday, September 2,
without missing a single note.

Don’t have wheels to get around and want to explore further? No worries as Banff Airporter can give you a lift to explore stunning Lake Louise. They are doing a special BISQC run, providing transportation to and from Lake Louise during our September 2 day off. For the special rate of $50 you’ll get roundtrip transport to Lake Louise from The Banff Centre.

Departing right after lunch at 1:00 p.m. and returning in time for dinner at 6:30 p.m., this is an unguided trek, providing transportation only — Banff Airporter gives you peace of mind travel and time to explore Lake Louise in your own way once you arrive. An option to explore Moraine Lake later in the day will also be provided to those interested. Sit back, relax and enjoy the sites as Banff Airporter does the driving and you can then set your own pace and plan your own adventures. If interest is high, we will add a morning run as well!

To book, please select from Banff to Lake Louise and then select September 2 as a date with the booking link below. Please note, if other dates are selected it will come up as no runs available as this is a special service for BISQC.

Want to go the other direction and explore Canmore? Banff Airporter can give you a lift that way on any one of its regular 10 daily departures — just click Banff-Canmore on the booking tool above and the time you want to go and when you want to return and voilà!

And don’t forget to reserve your airport shuttle with Banff Airporter too — book through the Getting to Banff page and receive a 10 per cent discount on travel (discounts are applied at point of purchase). With 10 daily departures wait times are minimal and you’ll be dropped off right at The Banff Centre, or at the hotel or street address of your choice.

We would encourage you to use this service as Banff Airporter has agreed to generously donate back to BISQC five per cent of all transportation sales purchased by the BISQC audience who use their shuttle service. By booking through Banff Airporter you will help play a further integral part in what makes this competition so special and in turn contribute to the careers and development of the quartets.

Known for its quality service, Banff Airporter is a committed supporter of the arts and the Bow Valley community and we are thrilled to partner with them as BISQC’s official Calgary Airport shuttle service.

Other options for the Day Off to follow soon… hopefully including a behind-the-scenes tour of The Banff Centre and other local explorations.
