Frequently voted amongst the worlds most livable and beautiful cities in the world, Vancouver is surrounded by mountains and ocean. Depending on the season, you can walk the sea wall skirting Stanley Park, dine al fresco or get out and explore by bicycle.

Day 2 – Through the Canadian Rockies by Train – Vancouver to Jasper
The ‘Canadian’ is Canada’s most famous train, the route links Vancouver and Jasper using original steel rail cars from the 1950’s.
Vancouver to Jasper is the most spectacular stretch of the whole journey. The train crosses the arable land of the Fraser Valley, heads northeast through the British Columbia interior, passing the Lac Du Bois and Wells Grey Provincial parks before ascending the Canadian Rockies and arriving in Jasper National Park the following day.

Day 3 – Heart of the Canadian Rockies – Arrive in Jasper
Arrive this afternoon into the town of Jasper and spend the rest of the afternoon exploring. Jasper is a quaint Rockies mountain town surrounded by the pristine wilderness of Jasper National Park - a UNESCO world heritage site.

Day 4 – The Icefields Parkway – Jasper to Banff
The scenic coach transfer along the spine of the Rockies, known as the Icefields Parkway is recognized as one of the world’s most beautiful roads.
Learn about its geology as you walk across the Athabasca Glacier - later in the afternoon your Canada train trip brings you to stunningly beautiful Lake Louise before reaching Banff for your overnight stay.

Day 5 – Banff – Rocky Mountain Natural Beauty
It is worth the early start this morning to explore local landmarks and historic sites and learn about wildlife habitats and winter survival adaptations.
Banff is the perfect town in the Canadian Rockies to play golf, try a fly-fishing lesson, relax in a spa, or explore the mountains on horseback.
Much too soon you leave the fresh air and colourful sights of the Canadian Rockies as your Canada train trip comes to an end, as you make your way to Calgary Airport.
