ROCKIES AND PACIFIC
VIA Rail’s Toronto-Vancouver train, known as the Canadian, is one of the world’s classic long-distance rail journeys. Experience over 4,466 kilometres (2,775 mi) of Canada’s most diverse landscapes – from bustling Toronto, the rugged Canadian Shield and broad prairie vistas, to the Rockies and Vancouver on the Paciic coast.
To bear witness to the Rockies is a goal for most ardent worldly travellers. he Jasper-Prince Rupert train (formerly known as the Skeena) is a two-day daylight adventure that explores the northern half of British Columbia, from Prince Rupert to Prince George, and inally to Jasper, Alberta. his remote journey guarantees breathtaking vistas and natural splendours you simply cannot see any other way.
Finally, jump aboard the Victoria-Courtenay train (formerly the Malahat) for a 5-hour adventure exploring Vancouver Island from Victoria to scenic Shawnigan Lake, past Nanaimo and Cowichan to sandy beaches where you’ll dig clams for a picnic by the Paciic shore.
