Vacations By Rail
Premium Canada & the Rocky Mountains in Winter
Toronto to Vancouver on VIA Rail's Canadian through winter Rockies
Vacations By Rail operates this 6-day transcontinental journey aboard VIA Rail's Canadian, one of North America's most celebrated train routes. Starting in Toronto, the tour passes through Niagara Falls before heading west into Canada's Rocky Mountains, where the rail line winds through alpine terrain en route to Vancouver. Winter travel adds a distinctive character to the landscape, with snow covering the peaks and valleys. The itinerary combines urban exploration in Canada's largest city and coastal metropolis with extended time aboard the train, where passengers watch the country unfold from comfortable seating and observation areas. Vacations By Rail includes both rail passage and accommodation, though the day-by-day schedule and hotel details should be confirmed directly with the operator before booking. This trip appeals to first-time rail travellers seeking a multi-day, point-to-point journey and to repeat passengers eager to experience one of the continent's great train routes.
