Rocky Mountaineer
No journey through Canada’s mountainous western provinces would be complete without the unforgettable experience of a rail trip aboard the famed Rocky Mountaineer. Through large picture windows you’ll enjoy endless vistas of spectacular scenery as you travel in daylight along one of four routes. The First Passage to the West offers service from Banff and Calgary to Vancouver, with an overnight in Kamloops. The Journey through the Clouds departs from Jasper with an overnight in Kamloops before continuing on to Vancouver. The Rainforest to Gold Rush travels between the all- season resort towns of Whistler and Jasper, with an overnight in Quesnel. And on Sea to Sky Climb enjoy the comforts and stellar views during a three hour premier service linking Vancouver and Whistler.

Step aboard your air-conditioned, smoke-free, ‘Dome Coach’ and immerse yourself in luxury. Enjoy the companionship of your fellow travellers either inside or out, as the ‘Dome Coach’ offers a vestibule for you to step outside and catch a closer look at nature!
