Journey Through The Clouds
Vancouver to Jasper Train
On this two-day luxury train experience between Vancouver and Jasper, you will travel from the shores of the Pacific Coast, through interior British Columbia’s desert landscapes, along the mighty Frasier River and Hell’s Gate before crossing into Alberta’s Rocky Mountains with passes by Pyramid Falls and Mount Robson; the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. One this route, you will experience areas that are only accessible by train.
Enjoy gourmet, made-to-order breakfasts and lunches paired with local beers, wines, and cocktails all inspired by the diverse flavors and local ingredients of Western Canada as you look forward to your stay in the majestic Rocky Mountains.
An overnight stay in a Kamloops hotel is included in your two-day rail ticket along with rail station transfers, onboard gratuities, and more!
Rocky Mountaineer Vancouver to Jasper
Day One - Vancouver Departure
Train from Vancouver to Kamloops
Departing from our Vancouver station, you’ll follow the scenic Fraser River eastbound. Soon, you’ll be outside of the city and moving into the wilderness.
Start the day taking in views of the fertile farmlands of the Fraser Valley before being served a delicious breakfast that warms you to the core.
As you continue your journey towards Kamloops, you’ll find yourself in a desert-like landscape – a far cry from the coastal rainforest you left behind.
After a full day on the train, disembark in the charming town of Kamloops – the perfect place to take a soothing stroll along the riverside.
Day Two - Jasper Arrival
Train from Kamloops to Jasper
From Kamloops, you’ll continue to wind your way eastward through the Shuswap region, with stunning lake views all the way.
Throughout the morning, you’ll be treated to breakfast and coffee as you awaken your senses to your newfound surroundings. Just past Blue River, you’ll get an exclusive view of the aptly named Pyramid Falls, from a vantage point accessible only by rail.
Approaching Jasper National Park, Canada’s largest, you can’t help but notice the magnificent Mount Robson, the tallest peak in the Canadian Rockies.
You’ll want to explore every corner of this quaint mountain town. Pop into a local pub or restaurant, or treat yourself to an evening at the majestic Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge.
