Rocky Mountaineer
Rail Journey | Canada
Onboard the Rocky Mountaineer train, it’s all about the journey through the spectacular Canadian Rockies from Vancouver to Jasper or Banff (reverse trips available). Over two days, with an overnight stay in the city of Kamloops, glide through snow-capped peaks and mountain tunnels in style. The onboard dining and service are equally impressive.

Locations along the Rail Journey
Mount Robson
Canyons, gullies and mountains sweep past throughout your Rocky Mountains' rail experience, but have your camera ready when Mt Robson, the region's tallest peak, swings into view.
Pyramid Falls
Pyramid Falls can only be seen in all its natural glory from your Rocky Mountaineer train, passing right by this thunderous waterfall which fans out across a steep drop.
Spiral Tunnels
Built in 1909, the spiral tunnels remain an engineering feat to this day and the best way of navigating what's described as the most difficult railway track section on the Canadian Pacific Railway's route, which cuts through the Rockies.
Shuswap region
From Kamloops, wind your way eastwards through the Rockies through the Shuswap region, with stunning lake views to accompany you all the way.
