Since launching in 1990, Rocky Mountaineer has given more than two million guests access to spectacular mountain scenery that was previously totally inaccessible for visitors and has become one of Canada’s must-do experiences.

Journey of a lifetime

Guests can marvel at the majestic Rockies as the train winds through towering mountain ranges, while enjoying fine dining and marvelling at Canada’s roaming and unique wildlife for an unforgettable, life-changing experience.

Operating from spring to mid-October and travelling by daylight only, the one-of-a-kind Rocky Mountaineer capitalises on every daylight moment to create a journey of a lifetime. Guests stay in carefully appointed hotels overnight to ensure no view goes unseen.

There are two levels of service - GoldLeaf or SilverLeaf – both offering extraordinary experiences for clients including customised dome train cars with panoramic windows and outdoor observation decks so guests can breathe in the fresh, crisp air of the Canadian Rockies.

GoldLeaf also offers several upgrades including two-level domes with observing space upstairs and a dining space for a la carte meals on the lower level.

Rail routes

There are three Rocky Mountaineer rail routes, each with their own distinctive highlights:

First Passage to the West: runs between Vancouver through to Banff or Lake Louise with an overnight stop in Kamloops.

Journey Through the Clouds: runs between Vancouver and Jasper with an overnight stay in Kamloops.

Rainforest to Gold Rush: runs from Vancouver to Jasper with overnight stays in Whistler and Quesnel.

All routes run eastbound or westbound, depending on preference. More information on Rocky Mountaineer routes
