Lakes and Mountains

A Canada lakes and mountains rail vacation is nearly synonymous with an itinerary featuring the Canadian Rockies. Expansive lakes, tumbling waterfalls, and towering mountain peaks are the tableau of some of the country's most scenic rail routes and picturesque destinations. Once in the heart of breathtaking scenery, lake and mountain vistas are only amplified.

Immerse yourself in the Canadian Rockies with a visit to Moraine Lake tucked in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, or travel aboard the Banff Gondola to the top of Sulphur Mountain for stunning views of the Bow Valley and Banff townsite. The turquoise waters of Lake Louise, surrounded by mountain peaks and the Victoria Glacier looming behind it, are a sight to behold. The deep blue waters of Maligne Lake with Spirit Island at its center highlight many sightseeing tours in Jasper.

While Western Canada is home to some of the most famous lakes and mountains in Canada, the East has its share of notable peaks and valleys, such as Quebec's Laurentian Mountains. Situated north of Montreal, this destination is home to freshwater lakes and scenic mountain villages. Whether your vacation takes you to the Canadian Rockies, Eastern Canada, or on a coast to coast adventure, there is no shortage of lakes and mountains rail vacations in Canada.
