Tour Overview
Discover the stunning scenery of Banff and Jasper, where moose and elk roam freely and lakes reflect chiselled mountains and alpine forests. A train ride through the Canadian Rockies is up next. We'll take the Rocky Mountaineer train between Jasper and Whistler - a less frequented but equally stunning route - and capture a piece of the mystical gold rush history. On the last leg of our tour, between the gabled alpine village of Whistler and the urban gem of Vancouver, you’ll witness some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes in the natural world.
