Enjoy the scenery as you leave the city and transfer out to the mountains of Jasper National Park. The transfer to Jasper takes approximately four to five hours. The resort town of Jasper is located in the heart of the Canadian Rockies.

You’ll spend the next two nights at a hotel in this charming mountain town.

Spend the first half of the day getting to know Jasper! First stop, Maligne Canyon, where 10,000 years of erosion have created the deepest canyon in the Rockies. Start off with a short and easy walk, admiring the Maligne River and its many waterfalls. After that, it’s over to the disappearing Medicine Lake, followed by the fairy tale-like Maligne Lake.

*From June to September a boat cruise on Maligne Lake is included

The afternoon and evening in Jasper will be free time to enjoy the town at your leisure.

Board VIA Rail’s Skeena train towards Prince George. One of the highlights of today’s journey will be passing by Mount Robson— the highest point in the Canadian Rockies.

A quick overnight stop at a Prince George hotel is included before boarding the train again the following day.

Board VIA Rail’s Skeena train towards Prince Rupert for another full day onboard the train. Pass through communities rich in indigenous history and culture and enjoy the fantastic views of the lakes and forests.
