If adventure is calling your name, answer the call by taking a luxury train trip through the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

Condé Nast Traveler ~ "Experiencing the majesty of the Canadian Rockies firsthand should be on everyone’s must-do travel list. Rocky Mountaineer, a family-owned luxury rail company that has operated for the past three decades, may just be the best way to see them. The company offers three rail routes that connect Vancouver to the mountain towns of Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper, and its extraordinary daylight-only journeys include countless highlights, some of which cannot be reached or seen by car.

From pristine, glacial runoffs to jagged cliffs and beautiful mountain passes, each route offers exquisite views, as well as a sense of adventure that is impossible to replicate.

Rocky Mountaineer brings guests up close to unforgettable wilderness and spectacular landscapes from the comfort and style of a spacious coach. Enormous glass-dome windows bring the outside in, and seats are wide enough to ensure everyone has the privacy and legroom they need for a relaxing trip. Should an elk, bighorn sheep, eagle, or even a bear make a cameo outside, it’s not uncommon for the train’s onboard Hosts to yell “Look on the left!” resulting in each and every guest leaping to their feet to congregate on one side of the coach. That’s the thing about train travel—it is never without a sense of adventure. Even the sight of small animals can inspire childlike wonder in the most seasoned travelers.


Along the way, Hosts make sure that each guest’s needs are catered to: whether it’s offering a plate of warm, oven-fresh scones; pouring a glass of local beer or wine from the area that the train is rolling through; or answering questions one-on-one about the landscape’s history and geography. Part of the fun on a trip is the rapport those in each coach build with their designated Hosts. Each anecdote, each joke, each song, helps guests feel connected to and invested in the scenery; they are what transforms each journey into a moving, emotional experience. ” ~ Condé Nast Traveler
