Canadian Rockies and Lake Louise Winter Explorer

Winter VIA Rail journey through Vancouver, Jasper, and Banff

Railbookers sells Canadian Rockies and Lake Louise Winter Explorer as a 9-day, 8-night independent rail package built around a winter train journey through Western Canada. It starts with two nights in Vancouver, taking in Stanley Park, Gastown, and Granville Island, then continues onboard VIA Rail to the alpine towns of Jasper, Lake Louise, and Banff, ending near Calgary. The evidence describes winter wonderland scenes of snowcapped mountain peaks, glacier-fed waterfalls, and twisting valleys along the way. Because it is sold as an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers move between these stops on their own. It suits travelers who want to see the Canadian Rockies in winter by rail. Starting from 1,399 US dollars.
