Ride the ROCKY MOUNTAINEER in CANADA
Enjoy an adventure in the Rockies, including stays in Vancouver, Lake Louise and Banff, plus a helicopter flight and an iconic train journey
Canada’s scenery is breathtaking, and at its heart is one of the greatest mountain ranges, the Rockies. With white peaks, valleys, forests and more animals than people, it’s the perfect destination for a wilderness break. As it’s a vast area, one of the best ways to see its highlights is on board Rocky Mountaineer.
On this nine-day holiday, with dates available throughout 2021, you’ll enjoy two days in vibrant Vancouver, then board the train for a journey to Lake Louise.
Rolling along tracks carved into cliffs, Rocky Mountaineer weaves past lakes and river canyons towards the Rockies. You’ll stop in Kamloops in British Columbia overnight and disembark in Lake Louise. You’ll have time to explore Jasper National Park and the Columbia Icefield, where you can stride out on the Skywalk and ride an Ice Explorer to the middle of the Athabasca
Glacier. Your adventure continues in Banff, where you’ll enjoy nature walks, hot mineral pools, cruising on Lake Minnewanka and a helicopter ride before returning to the UK from Calgary.
