Your perfect itinerary to peaks & glaciers of the Rockies, paired with the authentic rail travel: https://ow.ly/onZa50ZTL9X

This is one of our clients’ (and our own) most cherished ways to experience the famous Canadian mountains. The VIA Rail train, which you board in Vancouver, allows you to observe the wintery landscapes of Canada while enjoying dinner in the dining car or resting in your private sleeper cabin. By morning, you will wake up to the mountains greeting you right outside your window.

Yet, the adventure is only just beginning: from the rails, you will head out to explore Jasper, Lake Louise, and Banff, before wrapping up your journey in Calgary.

Experience the Best of the Canadian Rockies on a magical winter train vacation. Stunning landscapes, snowy peaks & cozy luxury await. Book your journey now!

BASIN Glacial Waters: a wellness addition to your stay at Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise.

Open exclusively to hotel guests, the spa welcomed our team as some of the very first to experience it. Here is what our team member, Sue, had to say about her visit:

“I had in my mind that it would be like any spa or massage treatment and was so wrong. No cell phones, no cameras, and it took a few minutes to get used to. Going from hot spas to cold pools and steam rooms and experiencing the Aufguss Sauna Ritual. Sitting in the lounge overlooking the lake and mountains certainly clears your mind.”

Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the North Shore Mountains, Vancouver is a world-class
destination that offers a perfect combination of urban culture and lush wilderness. Being a start or end point for many of our rail packages, we recommend adding a day (or two!) in the city to fully explore its diverse experiences.

🗺️ Here is our guide to Canada's main West Coast hub, with local recommendations gathered from our Travel Designers.

Snowy peaks fill glass-domed windows, multi-course dinners linger into the evening, and by morning you wake somewhere new. Step off in the Rockies, stay onboard for a journey across Canada, or pair your rail trip with Northern Lights viewing in the Yukon — in any case, winter is best experienced from the train.

Explore our guest-favorite winter journeys, and let’s start planning yours.
