Luxury Winter Snow Train to the Canadian Rockies
Canada by Design · VIA Rail Canadian · 7 days
Depart on a luxurious train trip through the Rockies, passing through the stunning winter scenery of Banff, Jasper and Lake Louise. Beginning in Vancouver, spend a night in your own private cabin on VIA Rail, then arrive to Jasper for a Maligne Canyon Ice Walk, wildlife tour, Dark Sky experience or dog sledding. Consider an optional helicopter tour to Abraham Lake to witness methane gas bubbles frozen beneath the surface and arrive to Lake Louise in time for a cozy evening sleigh ride. Back in Banff, enjoy your choice of tours from wildlife viewing, snowshoeing or an Icewalk in Johnston Canyon before ending the trip in Calgary.
