Our 12-day tour features the best of

Western Canada, beginning in the cowboy

city of Calgary, ending in the coastal city

of Vancouver and enjoying the magnificent

Rocky Mountains in between.  Having spent

our first night in

Calgary we travel by coach to Banff, gateway

to the Rockies.  From Banff we take the

Icefield Parkway to Lake Louise, perhaps one

of the most photographed lakes in the world. 

We stay overnight at Chateau Lake Louise with

its superb lakeside location. Our journey from

Lake Louise to Jasper is through magnificent

scenery – towering mountains, huge

waterfalls, emerald green lakes and huge

glaciers.  We stop at Athabasca Glacier

for a snow-coach ride on to the glacier itself.

 From Jasper we visit Maligne Lake and Spirit

Island. 

 

We leave Jasper aboard the world-famous

Rocky Mountaineer.  The train winds its

way through truly magnificent mountain scenery

to Kamloops, where we stop overnight in a hotel

before spending a second day on the train as the

scenery changes from mountain to river canyon.

We arrive into Vancouver where we spend the

last two days of our tour.  Vancouver is a lovely

city with lots to see including Grouse Mountain,

Capilano Suspension Bridge and much more.

 

Accommodation throughout the tour is in good

4* hotels mainly from the Fairmont Hotel group.

Our Fairmont hotels include the famous Banff

Springs Hotel, Chateau Lake Louise and the

Fairmont Vancouver.
