Calgary to Jasper aboard the Rocky Mountaineer Daylight Train

Calgary, Kamloops, Jasper, Lake Louise, Banff

We are often asked for a tour that travels by train between Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper.   This service is no longer offered.  By special arrangement, we are able to offer this package, where both days of rail journey are in mountainous terrain.  We didn’t want you to miss staying at the famous mountain resorts, so we have arranged a Budget rental car with overnight accommodations at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise and the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel.

Rocky Mountain Rail Tour
Itinerary


Rocky Mountaineer

  Day 1- Arrive Calgary

Your tour includes a transfer voucher for the Calgary Airport to city shuttle service.  The shuttle bus will take you to your hotel. While in Calgary, consider a visit to the Calgary Zoo, Botanical Garden and Prehistoric Park, or experience turn of the century pioneer life at Heritage Park or at Ft. Calgary,  Calgary’s birthplace.  No one should leave Calgary without trying the “two step” at a cowboy night- spot.
Overnight – Fairmont Palliser

Day 2 - Rocky Mountaineer, Calgary to Kamloops (Breakfast and Lunch )

As you leave Calgary, you will travel through the foot- hills of the Canadian Rockies for a stop in Banff to take on passengers.  Your journey takes you over the Continental Divide, the Spiral Tunnels and Kicking House Pass.   You will travel through Rogers Pass with tunnels, snow –sheds and glistening glaciers.  Continue along Shuswap Lake, the South Thompson River and the ranchlands leading to Kamloops.  When you arrive in Kamloops, the Rocky Mountaineer staff will meet you and transfer you to your hotel. 
Overnight - Kamloops

 Day 3 - Kamloops to Jasper ( Breakfast and Lunch)

Today promises another day of spectacular mountain sightseeing.  As you travel from Kamloops to Jasper, you follow the Thompson River to the peaks of the Monashee Mountains.  See Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. Breakfast and lunch are served on the train.  When you arrive at the station, collect your car and make your way to the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge.  Stroll the grounds, or refresh yourself in the pool; enjoy the wonderful facilities that this resort has to offer.   
Overnight – Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge 

Day 4 - Jasper at Leisure

Consider a visit to Mt. Edith Cavell or to secluded Maligne Lake, the second largest glacial lake in the world.  The Jasper Tramway is the longest aerial tramway in Canada.  Once you complete the trip up Whistler Mountain you'll enjoy breathtaking views in the comfort of a mountaintop restaurant.
Overnight – Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge

Day 5 - Jasper to Lake Louise

Your reluctance to leave Jasper will pass, as you travel south through some of the most beautiful vistas found anyplace on the globe.  A stop at the awesome Athabasca Glacier for a snocoach ride on this prehistoric river of endless ice is highly recommended. Your destination is the beautiful Chateau Lake Louise.
Overnight –Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

 Day 6 - Lake Louise at leisure

The beauty of the Chateau and grounds will entice you to stay at the hotel.  But also consider the Lake Louise ski area for a ride on their chair lifts that take you to lofty heights for spectacular views. Visit the Valley of Ten peaks to view lovely Moraine Lake.
Overnight – Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

 Day 7 - Lake Louise to Banff 

This morning you’re off to Banff and the Banff Springs Hotel.  Filled with flowers, Banff is a picture postcard of the Canadian Rockies.  The area is rich in the history of the Springs and the story of how Banff has developed from a railroad stop to one of the best-known resorts in the world.  Be sure you see Bow Falls, the Cave and Basin, Tunnel Mountain and maybe a gondola ride up the side of Sulphur Mountain.
Overnight – Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel

Day 8 - Banff to Calgary

We hope this will be one of many visits to Canada, “The World Next Door”.
