Rocky Mountain Railtour
We love...
Experiencing Canada's most remote and stunning vistas from the Rocky Mountaineer train. We’ll travel through scenic valleys and past white-water rapids, and hopefully spot wildlife on the way.
A snapshot of the best of Western Canada, this Canadian Rockies rail tour embraces the wild majesty of the mountains. You’ll rumble through the best of the region’s scenery aboard the luxurious Rocky Mountaineer train, part of the country’s grand rail travel tradition. As you go, take in panoramic views of the snow-capped mountains, dramatic ice fields, thunderous waterfalls and glacial lakes. This amazing two-day experience is bookended by stays in mountain towns (Banff and Jasper) and attractive cities (Vancouver and Victoria).

Here, we take an Ice Explorer ride on to the surface of Athabasca Glacier (weather dependent). An experienced driver-guide will lead us and teach us about glaciers and icefields and their importance on our environment. You’ll even have the opportunity to safely step out onto the glacier and stand on the ancient ice. Turning west, we enter Jasper National Park - 4,200 square miles of alpine forests, natural hot springs, white-water rivers, tranquil valleys and jagged snow-capped mountains - and continue to the centre of Jasper town.
