ROCKIES TRAIN TOURS
ABOUT Rockies Train Tours
There are 2 train options in travelling through the Canadian Rockies and both routes leave travellers marvelling at the jagged mountain peaks and amazed by the engineering ingenuity of how the tracks were laid. Through the panoramic windows you can see turquoise glacial lakes and sometimes even a bear and cubs as they scurry into the forest. Train travel is about relaxing and enjoying the journey without having to follow directions to the hotel. And the journey through the Rockies is rated one of the best rail experiences in the world. The spiral tunnels through Cathedral Mountain are a favourite spot for train staff to elaborate their storytelling, entertaining guests with legends from the Gold Rush days. Travellers on the northern route are known to set waigers on whether the highest peak in the Rockies (Mount Robson) will be shroud in cloud or poking into view. Either way, laughter adds to the atmosphere of the journey. Whether you opt to sleep on the train for a day and night adventure (the Canadian train on VIA Rail) or choose the daylight only Rocky Mountaineer experience stopping at a hotel for the night, the sights through those panoramic windows will inspire daydreams and set your camera into overload.
