Arrive in Canada's largest city, Toronto, and be whisked away to the charming town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Rolling vineyards and blooming flowers surround you — and frame Lake Ontario.
Discover the splendor of the Niagara Gorge and the serene woodlands of wine country. Choose an activity that's just right for you.
Leave Niagara-on-the-Lake and return to Toronto to begin your transcontinental journey west. Travel north into Ontario's picturesque lake country.
Head west through the rugged landscape of the Canadian Shield and into the province of Manitoba. See ancient, exposed rock, boreal forest, and countless lakes. Keep an eye out for fishing cabins perched on tiny islands, as well as moose and bears.
Journey across the undulating plains of the Prairie provinces — Saskatchewan and Alberta. Fields of green and gold stretch endlessly under an immense blue sky. When you look out the window, spot rustic barns and small farming towns.
See the magnificent Rocky Mountains early this morning as you get close to Jasper. This laid-back mountain town lies in the heart of Jasper National Park.
Jasper’s wide-open valleys are enticing to a variety of wildlife and are incredibly breathtaking. Spend the day exploring Jasper National Park on your style of tour.
This morning is the first day of your two-day Canadian Rockies rail journey. The passing scenery is breathtaking; step out onto the outdoor viewing platform and feel the cold wind against your cheeks.
Another day of your train journey begins as you re-board the Rocky Mountaineer. Travel across ranchlands, along rocky lakeshores, over high mountain passes, and through the remarkable Spiral Tunnels. Arrive in Lake Louise this evening.
Spend your day in one of the most beautiful places on the planet — Lake Louise. It doesn't matter whether the sun is shimmering on the water or a mist hangs over the surrounding peaks and glaciers, the magic of this place is unmistakable.
Discover the beauty of what lies outside of Banff National Park today, with your choice of tour as you make your way to Banff.
Fill your lungs with cool, fresh Rocky Mountain air and head out to explore Banff National Park in your chosen way.
Much too soon, you leave the fresh air and mountain peaks of Canada to journey home.

Conveniently located in downtown Banff, the Elk and Avenue Hotel combines Banff’s alpine history with a sleek modern design. After a day of exploring, unwind in the hotel’s jacuzzi or dry sauna, then enjoy fresh Canadian cuisine at the on-site restaurant.
Built into the side of a mountain, the Rimrock Resort Hotel sits high above Banff town and provides guests with spectacular views of the Bow River Valley. Banff Upper Hot Springs and the Banff Gondola are a short walk from the hotel, while other attractions are minutes away by car.
Located in Banff National Park, the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is surrounded by soaring mountain peaks, a sparkling turquoise lake, and the impressive Victoria Glacier. Explore the area’s outstanding beauty on horseback, or paddle on the lake in a canoe.
Here are some of the most popular ways to personalize this journey.
Extend your stay in Banff or Jasper and explore more of the Canadian Rockies. There's so much to do here: lake cruises, guided canoeing, alpine hiking, food tours, gondola rides, and more!
The Calgary Stampede – billed as The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth – is held each year in Calgary, Alberta. If you are planning to travel in July, make sure you add on this experience.
Continue your train trip across Canada and go further east to Quebec or Nova Scotia. You could discover french cuisine, historic cities, coastal views, and more. Ask your local travel expert for more information!
For me, the cross-Canada trips are the perfect blend of diversion and relaxation. My favorite stretch is the descent from the Rockies' alpine forests into the panoramic vistas of the prairies.
