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

Bid farewell to the beautiful Canadian Rockies, with a promise to return very soon!
