About the trip

This Riviera Travel escorted tour begins in Calgary, with a transfer to your downtown hotel allowing time to settle in. The route leads westwards across Alberta's prairies towards Banff, where three nights are spent amid the mountain town's pine-clad surroundings.

A drive along the Icefields Parkway offers distinctive blue lakes and the possibility of riding the ‘Snocoach’ on the Athabasca Glacier. One free day in Banff allows for an optional float trip along the Bow River or a cable car ride to Sulphur Mountain's 7,500-foot summit for a walk or a look at the restaurant terrace. Then follows the two-day Rocky Mountaineer train journey through deep canyons, railway engineering feats and towering peaks, with an overnight stop in Kamloops.

The tour concludes with a city tour in Vancouver, including Stanley Park's collection of totem poles and views from Prospect Point, offering a mix of urban scenes and coastal forest. The final morning is at leisure before travelling home.
