Your itinerary is personalized to suit your dreams and needs:
Enjoy a magical Canadian winter adventure. Settle into your cozy train cabin in Vancouver, sleeping onboard as snow falls outside. Wake in a Rockies winter wonderland for a week of discovery, fun, and indulgence.
Find out what is included in your trip and have all your questions answered. We are here to help.
The cool, fresh air is invigorating as you start your Canadian winter train vacation. Vancouver’s relatively mild weather is a great introduction, but look to the north and discover the winter scene you’ve been dreaming of — Vancouver’s coastal mountains stand before you covered in pure white snow.
With a mild climate and so much to do, it’s no wonder people flock to this west coast city! Take the day to explore Vancouver.
Board The Canadian train in Vancouver and begin your eastward journey to Jasper. Pass through the varied landscape of British Columbia's Fraser Valley. See farmer's fields, winding river canyons, and icy forests.
Awake to see the glistening snow-capped peaks of the Canadian Rockies all around you, including Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Rockies. After breakfast, step off the train in the charming mountain town of Jasper and get ready to explore Jasper National Park.
Jasper is a great base for exploring Jasper National Park, the largest park in the Canadian Rockies. The small town of Jasper offers visitors a laid-back mountain experience with equal opportunities for adventure, discovery and relaxation.
Breathe in the fresh mountain air and sip a warm cup of coffee before you travel to Lake Louise today. Once you arrive, explore this world-famous frozen lake and the ancient glacier and mountains that surround it.
Later this morning, travel the short distance from Lake Louise to Banff. Banff is the liveliest of the mountain towns on your Canadian holiday. There are plenty of quaint shops to visit, and the sweet smell of homemade maple fudge will lure you in for a truly delicious experience.
The town of Banff is nestled amidst the soaring peaks of Banff National Park, Canada’s oldest national park. The park is home to some of the most captivating scenery in North America. Banff is small enough to walk around and has plenty of world-class eateries and boutiques.
Your Canadian Rockies winter trip comes to an end. Head home with the great memories you made on this voyage, and look forward to your next adventure in Canada.
