Travel aboard VIA Rail, passing through dramatic mountain ranges, alpine forests and wide-open valleys. From snow-dusted summits to sweeping wilderness views from the observation cars, every stage of the journey offers a memorable perspective of Canada’s striking landscapes and rich natural beauty.
Locations Along the Journey
Mount Robson
Towering mountain ranges, deep ravines and rugged wilderness unfold outside your window throughout your Rocky Mountains rail journey. Keep watch for Mount Robson, the tallest peak in the Canadian Rockies, rising 3,954 metres above the surrounding landscape. Frequently capped with snow and framed by drifting clouds, this immense mountain delivers one of the most unforgettable sights along the route.
Pyramid Falls
Visible only by rail, Pyramid Falls is one of the Rocky Mountaineer’s most remarkable natural highlights. Watch as the powerful waterfall spills dramatically down the mountainside, sending mist into the air as your train passes close by. The fleeting views and raw force of the falls create a truly memorable moment on your rail journey.
Spiral Tunnels
Completed in 1909, the Spiral Tunnels are a remarkable feat of railway engineering, designed to help trains safely navigate the steep gradients of the Canadian Rockies. As your train winds through the tunnels, you may catch sight of the locomotive curving above or below your carriage, showcasing the ingenuity behind this historic rail route.
Shuswap region
Departing Kamloops, travel east into the scenic Shuswap region, where tranquil lakes, forested hills and mountain backdrops create an ever-changing landscape. As the train hugs the shoreline, take in uninterrupted views of sparkling waterways and peaceful communities before the dramatic alpine scenery of the Rockies comes into focus once again.
