Vancouver

The harbourside city of Vancouver is a bustling metropolis overflowing with rich diversity. Catering to any interest through the year, visitors and locals alike can take to the waters and enjoy endless year-round water sports, venture to the old-growth forests for a tree-top adventure, or sit back and delight in an evening of entertainment provided by one of the big-name acts taking the stage in downtown Vancouver.

Kamloops

With over 100 breathtaking lakes within easy reach, and endless opportunities for outdoor sports such as biking, golfing and snowboarding, Kamloops is a charming Canadian city. Thanks to its unique location at the meeting point of the north and south Thompson rivers, Kamloops offers wide grasslands, endless scenery and towering mountains - a true insight into British Columbian living.

Lake Lousie

Lake Louise is the most famous glacial lake in the Canadian Rockies and one of the most beautiful in the Western Hemisphere. The lake, named for Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, daughter of Queen Victoria, is 1,730 metres above sea level. Unearth this ethereal beauty among high peaks and glaciers, and discover the charms of Banff National Park

Banff National Park

The Banff National Park is the epitome of Canada's great, untamed wilderness. This area's rugged mountain tops, glistening lakes and roaring waterfalls are all on a monumental scale... it really needs to be seen to be believed! Through all of this natural beauty, guests may also be able to spot bears, elk, moose and wolves along with lots of other freely roaming animals.

Train: 2-day Rocky Mountaineer 'First Passage to the West' Experience (not an overnight stay onboard)

With this 2-day train journey, you'll have the chance to travel through scenic valleys, along the mighty Fraser River, through Hell’s Gate, and past the magnificent Pyramid Falls.

Soak it all up from the comfort of your reclining chair or get a little closer in the outdoor viewing area.

Day 1: Vancouver to Kamloops
After departing from Vancouver station, you'll follow the scenic Fraser River Valley eastbound. Soon, you'll be outside the city and in the wilderness. Once aboard, you'll start the day with a toast, before being served a delicious breakfast that'll warm you to the core. As you continue your journey towards Kamloops, you'll find yourself in a desert-like landscape - a far cry from the coastal rainforest you left behind. Sit down to a three-course lunch prepared by the onboard chefs, as your hosts entertain you with stories about the region. After a full day on the train, disembark in the charming city of Kamloops - the perfect place to take a soothing stroll along the riverside.

From Kamloops, you'll reboard and continue to wind your way eastward through the Shuswap region, with stunning lake views all the way. Throughout the morning, you'll be treated to breakfast and coffee as you awaken your senses to your new surroundings. As the train ascends, so will your sense of wonder. Before you know it, you'll be surrounded by mountains that stretch up to the sky, enjoying the view with a glass of wine in hand. Enjoy a gourmet lunch inspired by the diverse flavours and local ingredients of Western Canada as you look to your Lake Louise arrival. Hear about the incredible histroy of the railway and the landmarks along the way. One of many memorable landmarks between Lake Louise and Banff is Castle Mountain, named for its imposing appearance, which early explorers compared to that of a medieval castle. Upon arrival, you'll want to explore every corner of this area!
