Canadian Rockies by Rail
The towering Rocky Mountains are a truly unique natural wonder. Even experienced travelers marvel at these ancient giants and stunning glacier-carved valleys. Where brave explorers and rugged railroad crews defied treacherous mountains and icy rivers, you venture in one of the most soothing ways to travel.
West Coast Rail Tours
The west coast by train gives you startling contrasts, from the dizzying mountains to the gleaming sea, from the lights of
Vancouver to the tranquility of a coastal resort town. Shop Robson Street one day, and go whale watching the next. Travel to
Victoria BC on Vancouver Island, filled with Old World charm and twice named the Best City in the Americas since 2000. Train travel in British Columbia can also include stops at
Prince Rupert, a picturesque city on the Northern west coast surrounded by true Canadian wilderness.
Take VIA Rail to the West Coast and Rockies
VIA train tours offer you travel flexibility. You can choose to venture in the leisure of rail-only travel, enjoy the luxury of West Coast resorts and Rocky Mountain lodges, the towns of
Jasper and
Banff and the city of
Edmonton, or even explore on your own: with a rail and drive tour, you choose unique outdoor and nature encounters with nature and the outdoors, while still enjoying the ease and comfort of rail travel.
