One of our most popular trips through the Canadian Rockies, this 7-day journey through Canada puts gorgeous scenery at every turn. The tour begins with two days of sightseeing in Vancouver, before boarding the Rocky Mountaineer for two days of daylight-only travel alongside rivers, canyons, and forests to the beautiful destination of Lake Louise. From here, the journey continues through mountains to the resort town of Banff, which is renowned for its variety of outdoor attractions and activities and its charming downtown area. Ride the gondola to the top of Sulphur Mountain, visit the hot springs and shop the boutiques over the course of two days before your vacations concludes with a transfer to Calgary.
This itinerary is also available from Calgary to Vancouver based on your travel preference.

Everything about the vacation we ordered was outstanding! We thoroughly enjoyed the trip for our 40th Anniversary. The Rocky Mountaineer part of the trip was magic, we had never had a rail trip like that. The excursions and transfers were smooth and all correct and effortless, much appreciated! Our hotels were beautiful and perfectly located (especially Rimrock in Banff!). The trip was perfect in every way! THANK YOU!

Rail car , amenities, friendliness and knowledge of staff, food and drinks were all excellent. Not sure it was worthy of $2,000 plus per day for two days.

I feel that the product could have been better explained in relation to schedule, I feel that there was much delay due to other trains having to share the rail.

It more than lived up to expectations. Rocky Mountaineer was superb and the weather/scenery unmatched. All connections after the train were on time and dependable. Good job.
