There’s no better way to see the beauty of a Canadian winter unfold before you than up-close onboard a VIA Rail snow train. Sit back and relax as you travel through spectacular scenery and experience the breadth of this vast country from a totally unique perspective.

It’s said that the most amazing rail journeys are in Canada. And it’s one hundred percent true. Imagine opening your eyes on the first morning of your cross-country adventure to a brilliant sunrise over the awe-inspiring, snow capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains before savouring a delicious Canadian breakfast. Then make your way to the Skyline car to take in the panoramic 360 degree views as glittering glacier lakes, pristine forests and jaw-droppingly huge canyons glide by. See if you can glimpse an elk or a wolf pack crossing a valley. Maybe even a bear. There’s something magical about all these natural wonders that nudges your vital being.

Onboard, you’ll dine in elegant surroundings while attentive stewards look after your every need. And as another amazing sunset slowly dissolves into darkness, you can head for your cabin to be gently rocked to a peaceful sleep, awakening refreshed and ready for another day’s scenic assault on your senses.
