MOLARI
Adventure Touring Co.
The MOLARI Experience
MOLARI offers private hiking, walking, and snowshoeing day tours in the Canadian Rockies.
We specialize in personalized, active exploration throughout Kananaskis Country and the National Parks of Banff, Yoho, and Kootenay.
Led by certified, multilingual guides, our year-round excursions include door-to-door transport for a seamless mountain adventure.
What makes us different
Personalized & Committed
by Design
We take your trust seriously. Your entire MOLARI journey, from co-designing your itinerary right through to trail day, is handled directly by our Founding Lead Guide, Russell.
With us you have a direct line to the insights, commitment and passion of the owner, not someone who's just here for the season.
Active Discovery
We will be walking or hiking on your tour, at the pace and level of difficulty that best suits your group. Active immersion is the best way to truly connect with the beauty of the Rockies.
Beyond the photos, we deliver fully present, informative experiences that are both physically and mentally rewarding, leaving you with memories to cherish with pride.
Uncompromising Safety
The Rockies are wild, and we respect that. What our commitment to safety means for every tour:
- A guide with formal guiding and wilderness first aid certification
- First aid kit and Emergency Response Plan in pack and van
- Non-cell phone dependent satellite communicability
- Safety and wildlife briefings
- Bear spray at the ready
- Winter tires October to April
- Always a 'Plan B', just in case.
Local Passion,
Global Standards
From Patagonia to Shanghai, we’ve lived, worked, and explored across the globe, which gives us a unique lens on exactly what makes the Canadian Rockies a world-class destination.
We combine international service standards with the deep, nuanced knowledge of a local to give you the best of both worlds.

“Russell guided my son, son-in-law and me on a variety of hikes across 5 days in Kananaskis and Banff. The variety of trails, scenery, and information/conversation were all top notch.”

“I’m not a huge fan of hiking but Russell made what would normally be a no-go trail for me an absolute joy. The pace was perfect while he provided the fun facts and conversation, and the scenery was absolutely stunning!”
