Where You'll Visit 

From the shimmering waters of Vancouver to the fresh mountain air of Jasper, the Rocky Mountaineer train travels through many of Canada's best scenery and cities. Your Canadian Train Vacation Advisor can help personalize a trip for you that includes the best places to visit in Western Canada.

Vancouver

  • Vancouver is one of the few cities in the world where a typical day might include a morning on the local ski slopes, a relaxing afternoon sail or round of golf, and an evening enjoying the local nightlife in our Entertainment District on Granville Street or Yaletown. With a mild climate and so much to do, it's no wonder people flock to this wonderful west coast city!

Jasper

  • Jasper is the gentle giant of the Rockies and this small mountain town offers visitors a more laid-back mountain experience – with equal options for adventure, discovery and relaxation.

Banff

  • The townsite of Banff, established in 1885, is the hub of Banff National Park. A lively mountain town with great restaurants, Banff is a welcome change of pace. Enjoy strolling Banff Avenue or try one of the numerous outdoor adventures offered in this outdoor playground. Banff was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for the mountain peaks, glaciers, lakes, and waterfalls

Lake Louise

  • The quaint hamlet in the heart of the Rockies is named after the nearby lake. Known for its sparkling turquoise blue waters and impressive glacier-clad peaks, Lake Louise offers a surreal paddling experience in the warm summer months and one of the most scenic skating rinks in the world in winter.

Whistler

  • Celebrated for its incredible skiing, this bustling resort town has plenty to see and do all year round. Take the Peak 2 Peak Gondola high up into the mountains, spend the day at the spa or on the golf course, and in the evening enjoy fine food and wines at one of the many world class restaurants. Whistler has something for everyone.

Kamloops & Quesnel

  • As the day winds down on your Rocky Mountaineer train journey, you will spend the night in either Kamloops or Quesnel depending on the route you take. You will be transferred to a comfortable hotel where your luggage awaits, and transferred back to the train in the morning to continue your train adventure to the Rockies.
