From alpine towns to iconic wilderness, it’s no wonder British Columbia and Alberta call to travellers around the world. For an unforgettable journey through the Canadian Rockies, embark on this coach tour and rail journey combination with Cosmos.
From city life to island time
Begin your thrilling adventure in Vancouver. Known as a buzzing cultural city hub, immerse yourself in all that it has to offer. There are sky-high towers, a picturesque waterfront, plenty of green spaces and a mouthwatering food scene. From there, you’ll catch the ferry across the Strait of Georgia to Victoria Island – the capital of British Columbia. Soak in its laidback atmosphere by having tea at the Fairmont Express or strolling through Butchart Gardens.
By rail through the Rockies
A highlight of this tour is the 2-day rail journey from Vancouver to Banff with Rocky Mountaineer. Their specially designed glass-domed carriages open your eyes to the canyons, pine forests, mountains and waterfalls that this part of the world is so famous for. Paired with regionally inspired meals like wild Pacific salmon and Alberta beef, Canada’s history and beauty comes alive.
Breathe in the alpine air
There is nothing quite like your first whiff of pure alpine air. Breathe it in, fill your lungs and exhale with a renewed purpose and joy for the Rockies. Whether you’re witnessing the picture-perfect-postcard views of Lake Louise or the outdoor adventures that Banff National Park presents, you’re guaranteed a good time.
Into the mountains
Heed the call of the wild and make your way to the Canadian Rockies. These mountain ranges showcase the depth and breadth of scenery that Canada is so famous for.
