Explore Banff and Jasper National Parks; hike across one of the many trails, hire bikes, experience white-water rafting, or take in the spectacular views from the Skytram. Perhaps add a guided walking tour to search for elk, mountain goats, coyotes, and moose. Witness unparalleled natural beauty, as you journey through the Rockies in SilverLeaf Service to Calgary. The gateway to the Rockies, Calgary is a diverse city with vibrant neighbourhoods and an incredible culinary scene set against a backdrop of natural wonders.
The journey aboard Rocky Mountaineer concludes in the vibrant city of Vancouver. This is a city that offers a distinct blend of breathtaking natural landscapes and urban downtown streets. With the purest city air, a cosmopolitan vibe and a friendly welcome, Vancouver has it all. Granville Island is a foodie paradise with more than 70 eateries and Canada’s first micro brewery. Further highlights include the Skyride up Grouse Mountain, and the spectacular views from the Capilano Suspension Bridge.
A visit to Banff is all about the great outdoors, with hiking trails, outdoor activities and wildlife watching opportunities. Take a ride on the Banff Gondola to the summit of Mount Sulphur and witness the spectacular views as you swoop above the treetops. After an exhilarating ascent and a long hike, the Upper Banff Hot Springs is the perfect place to unwind.
The adventure continues in Jasper, the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With plentiful hiking trails, a guided walking tour in search of wildlife is recommended, plus taking in the panoramic views from the Jasper Skytram. Just over an hour from Jasper is the Columbia Icefields Discovery Centre, where visitors can experience the glass-bottomed Glacier Skywalk, and board an Ice Explorer all-terrain vehicle to the Athabasca Glacier.
The spectacular peaks and breathtaking scenery of the Canadian Rockies are waiting to be to be discovered on board Rocky Mountaineer, ‘The Most Spectacular Train Trip in the World’®. The train traverses a landscape whose scale and grandeur never fail to leave a lasting impression on those who experience it.
The route from Jasper travels through enthralling vistas that are complemented by dynamic storytelling, regionally-inspired cuisine and impeccable service. On board everything is choreographed to make the journey feel special, effortless and unforgettable. With optimal viewing from oversized windows, travellers will witness unparalleled natural beauty, through scenic valleys, along the mighty Fraser River, through Hell's Gate, and past the magnificent Pyramid Falls and Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies.
This cosmopolitan city pitches scenic mountain views against skyscraping architecture to create a comfortable mix of urban living and nature. What’s more, the arts, culture, music and food scene here is in a class of its own. The variety of activities, events, attractions, festivals, museums, shopping, and nightlife make Calgary a vibrant place to visit. This is a perfect city to complete this Canadian adventure.
