Overview

✨ Six unforgettable days. A classic rail journey, glacier-fed lakes, and the most iconic scenery in the Canadian Rockies.


This 6-Day Rocky Rail Adventure begins on the Pacific Coast and combines a scenic overnight journey aboard VIA Rail’s Canadian Train with a comprehensive exploration of Jasper National Park, Banff National Park, and Yoho National Park. Designed for travelers who want both timeless rail travel and world-famous mountain highlights, this itinerary delivers the best of Western Canada.


Depart from Vancouver and settle in for an overnight rail journey through British Columbia’s dramatic landscapes. Wake as the train rolls into Jasper, a UNESCO World Heritage Site surrounded by pristine wilderness and towering peaks.


Explore the serene beauty of Medicine Lake and Maligne Lake, then travel along the legendary Icefields Parkway, often ranked among the world’s most scenic highways. Stop at the reflective waters of Bow Lake before arriving in Banff for an overnight stay.


Discover the crown jewels of the Rockies — the turquoise waters of Lake Louise, framed by Victoria Glacier, and Moraine Lake (seasonal), nestled beneath the Ten Peaks. Continue into Yoho National Park to admire the vibrant green waters of Emerald Lake and the striking Natural Bridge.


Experience the highlights of Banff, including a ride on the Banff Gondola for panoramic views of the Bow Valley, the powerful cascade of Bow Falls, the historic elegance of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, and the dramatic limestone pathways of Johnston Canyon.


Your journey concludes with a scenic drive along the Icefields Parkway, passing Crowfoot Glacier, Peyto Lake, and the majestic Columbia Icefield before returning to Calgary.


Perfect for families, first-time visitors, and travelers seeking a balance of rail nostalgia and iconic sightseeing, this adventure captures the essence of the Canadian Rockies from coast to mountains.


✨ Classic rail. Turquoise lakes. The Rockies from sea to summit.
