Day 1 – Arrive Vancouver
Welcome to
Vancouver, your starting point for your rail journey across
Canada. Your package includes a transfer from the airport to your hotel.
Whether you chose the
Fairmont
Hotel Vancouver or the
Renaissance Vancouver Harbourside or
Marriott Pinnacle,
your choice puts you in the heart of the city, close to shops, museums and
restaurants.
Overnight - Vancouver
Day 2 – VIA Rail
Vancouver to Jasper
You have a full day to enjoy the city! Your city sightseeing tours allows
you to get on and off at all the major attractions throughout Vancouver.
Your train departs at 8:30pm this evening. The doorman at your hotel will
assist you with a taxi to the rail station. Nothing shows you Canada like a
trip on the train. Your bedroom is VIA Rails “top of the line”
accommodation. Your sitting room by day converts to upper and lower berths
at night. Once aboard the train, the staff will see you settled into your
room. As
VIA Rail’s Canadian Silver and Blue class passengers, your fare
includes all meals, use of any of the lounges and access to the skyline car
for spectacular viewing.
Overnight – VIA Rail
Day 3 – Enroute to Jasper
You will wake this morning to the beauty of the Canadian Rockies, as you
continue your rail journey to
Jasper.
Breakfast and lunch will be served prior to your arrival into Jasper this
afternoon. We have arranged transfers from the rail station to either the
Fairmont Jasper
Park Lodge
or the
Sawridge Inn.
The Jasper Park Lodge is a deluxe resort unto itself in the wilderness. The
Sawridge Inn is a 4 star property located in the heart of town. The
remainder of the day is yours to explore Jasper!
Overnight - Jasper
Day 4 – Jasper to Lake Louise
Your transfer to Lake Louise departs at 12:50PM. The drive to Lake Louise is
beautiful. Your arrival at the Chateau gives you time to view the lake and
enjoy the grounds before dinner. The beauty of Lake Louise and the Chateau
is unique. Only when you see the view from the
Fairmont
Chateau Lake Louise can you understand why people say, “you must
see it to believe it.” Should you choose to stay at the charming Deer
Lodge you are just steps away from the Chateau and the lake.
Overnight – Lake Louise
Day 5 – Lake Louise to Banff
After the beauty of Lake Louise, you will be surprised to find that
Banff offers a different perspective. This active alpine village
is just about the best place to be in summer. Towering mountains and the
sweeping Bow Valley offer stunning contracts. Elk roam about, totally
concerned with the flow of visitors passing them by. While visiting Banff’s
fun places, don’t miss a gondola ride up Sulphur Mountain or a dip in the
sulphur pool.
The Fairmont
Banff Springs is the castle amongst the mountains and forests
and boasts of offering a world class golf course and spa. The
Rimrock Resort
is built in such a manner that you have to take an elevator “down” to your
room.
Overnight – Banff
Day 6 – Banff
Bring your camera, as your “Discover Banff” tour takes you along Tunnel
Mountain Drive for a great view of Banff. Visit the Cave & Basin National
Historic Site or take a gondola ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain.
Overnight – Banff
Day 7 – Transfer Banff to Calgary Airport
Transfers have been prearranged from Banff to the Calgary Airport.
Bid farewell to the beautiful Canadian Rockies, with a promise to return
very soon!
