A Bucket-list Journey into the Snowy Rockies

With the seasons changing, it is time to start thinking about your travel plans to get through the unbearably mild west coast winter. Is travelling by train into the snowy Canadian Rockies on your bucket list? If so, perhaps this Mile Zero Tours guided tour is right for you!

Picture this: Fall asleep to the gentle rumbling of the train engine in your cozy private sleeper cabin aboard VIA Rail. Wake up to the smell of hot breakfast, roll over and open your window to a postcard image of winter wonderland. Perhaps you will be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the many elk or big horned sheep who frequent the area, or luckier still to see a bear or coyote from the safety of your cabin. Feast your eyes on snow-topped evergreens and towering mountains including Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Rockies, as you make your way towards Jasper.

But the journey isn’t over when the train arrives in Jasper. From here, pamper yourself with three nights at the luxurious Jasper Park Lodge Resort. Spend your days Christmas shopping at the many boutiques, enjoying light winter activities such as carriage rides or snowshoeing, or rejuvenating your mind and body at the spa. At night, curl up with a book by the fire, and why not - add a glass of wine! This is your opportunity to escape the stress of the holiday season and truly unwind. From Jasper, the deluxe guided tour takes you on to Edmonton and the Fantasyland Hotel in West Edmonton Mall and get ahead with your Christmas shopping. The next morning, enjoy a flight with WestJet back to Victoria, arriving home rejuvenated and ready to take on the season.
