Embark on an unforgettable train journey with Travelmarvel’s Canada Rail Tours and discover some of the nation’s most remarkable landscapes. Travel through the rugged wilderness and soaring peaks of the Canadian Rockies aboard the legendary Rocky Mountaineer, one of the highlights of our Western Canada train tours. As a SilverLeaf Service guest, relax in spacious reclining seats and admire uninterrupted views through oversized panoramic windows.

Experience the beauty of Canada by rail aboard VIA Rail, where mountain ranges, dense forests and expansive valleys unfold beyond your window. From dramatic alpine scenery to peaceful wilderness landscapes viewed from the observation cars, every journey reveals another unforgettable side of Canada’s natural splendour.
Locations Along the Journey
Mount Robson
Vast mountain landscapes, rugged ravines and untamed wilderness stretch out before you during your Rocky Mountains rail journey. Watch for the striking silhouette of Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, towering 3,954 metres above the surrounding landscape. Sometimes veiled by drifting cloud and snow, its dramatic presence creates one of the route’s most memorable moments.
Pyramid Falls
Accessible only by rail, Pyramid Falls offers a spectacular display of raw natural beauty. As your Rocky Mountaineer train passes nearby, witness water cascading powerfully down the steep mountainside while mist rises into the mountain air. The close proximity and fleeting views make this a truly special highlight of the journey.
Spiral Tunnels
The Spiral Tunnels, completed in 1909, stand as one of the great engineering achievements of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Built to navigate the steep terrain of the Rockies safely, this remarkable system still impresses today. As the train winds through the tunnels, you may spot the locomotive curving above or below your carriage, showcasing the ingenuity of this historic route.
Shuswap region
Leaving Kamloops behind, journey east through the picturesque Shuswap region, known for its glistening lakes, rolling hills and forested landscapes. As the railway follows the shoreline, enjoy ever-changing views of tranquil waterways and charming communities before the dramatic peaks of the Rockies begin to rise once more.
