While travelling through the Canadian Rocky Mountains you’ll see a lot of railway tracks and if you’re lucky you can also spot a special train that takes tourists from city to city: The Rocky Mountaineer is a world-renowned luxury train that offers an unforgettable journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Western Canada and the Rocky Mountains. Unlike traditional rail travel, the Rocky Mountaineer operates exclusively during the daytime, ensuring that passengers never miss a moment of the towering peaks, rushing rivers, and pristine wilderness outside their panoramic windows. The train features glass-domed coaches, allowing for unobstructed views of glaciers, waterfalls, and wildlife such as bears, elk, and bald eagles.
Guests can choose from different service levels, including GoldLeaf Service, which offers bi-level coaches with outdoor viewing platforms and gourmet meals served in an exclusive dining car. With no overnight travel, passengers stay in handpicked hotels along the route, enhancing the experience with a combination of comfort and adventure. The Rocky Mountaineer offers several routes, each showcasing a unique part of Canada’s stunning scenery. The ‘First Passage to the West‘ is the most famous route, traveling between Vancouver and Banff, following the historic Canadian Pacific Railway through spiral tunnels, mountain passes, and the dramatic Kicking Horse Canyon.
Another popular route, ‘Journey Through the Clouds‘, takes passengers from Vancouver to Jasper, passing through Hell’s Gate, Pyramid Falls, and Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. With its luxurious service, world-class cuisine, and unparalleled access to some of North America’s most stunning landscapes, the Rocky Mountaineer provides a great rail experience for travelers seeking a scenic and relaxing adventure.
