About the tour
If there was ever a place to surround yourself with the majesty of nature and the serene beauty of winter it is the Canadian Rockies. Lucky for you, you will have 10 days to take it all in on this wintertime adventure. Your time in the Rockies begins as you fly into Vancouver and are transferred to the resort town of Whistler. Here, you will enjoy spa amenities and cold-weather activities before moving back to Vancouver for sightseeing, incredible restaurants, and great culture. Also in Vancouver, you will board VIA Rail's Canadian for an overnight journey to Jasper. Upon arrival in Jasper, winter tours and sports and planned adventures, such as a walk through the icy floors of Maligne Canyon, create memories to last a lifetime. The final stop on this tour takes you to Banff - another beloved resort town that is surrounded by a beautiful national park. Your guided tour will reveal some of the park's best sights, as well as the wildlife that makes its home in this snow-covered natural paradise. Experiencing winter in the Rockies has never been more enjoyable.
This itinerary is also available from Calgary to Vancouver based on your travel preference.
