Enjoy a 6-day tour from Calgary to Vancouver, featuring airport pick-up, exploration of Banff and Yoho National Parks, optional activities in Banff, visits to Peyto Lake and the Columbia Icefield, and a scenic VIA Rail journey to Vancouver.

Five remarkable days. Iconic mountain parks, then a legendary rail journey to the Pacific. This 5-day Canadian Rockies tour with VIA Rail blends the region’s most celebrated national parks with one of Canada’s most iconic train journeys. From turquoise alpine lakes and glacier-carved valleys to an overnight rail experience through the Rockies, this itinerary offers a seamless and unforgettable way to travel from Calgary to Vancouver. 

Begin in Calgary and journey into the heart of the Rockies, visiting the crown jewels of Banff National Park and Yoho National Park. Stand before the luminous waters of Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, framed by towering peaks, before continuing through Yoho’s dramatic mountain scenery. 

Travel north along the world-famous Icefields Parkway, often ranked among the most scenic highways on Earth. Pause at ancient icefields and glacier viewpoints, admire the vivid blues of Peyto Lake, and feel the power of Athabasca Falls before arriving in Jasper National Park for an overnight stay. 

The journey then transitions from road to rail. Board the legendary VIA Rail Canadian in Jasper and settle in for a spectacular overnight train journey westward. As the train glides through mountain passes, river valleys, and remote wilderness, experience the Rockies from a rare and timeless perspective—falling asleep to the rhythm of the rails and waking as the landscape transforms en route to the coast. 

Arrive in Vancouver the following morning, where the tour concludes independently—marking the end of a journey that perfectly balances iconic sights, scenic travel, and classic Canadian rail adventure. 

Thoughtfully paced and rich in highlights, this tour is ideal for first-time visitors, rail enthusiasts, and travelers seeking a truly memorable way to cross the Canadian Rockies.
