6The Rocky Mountaineer (Canada)
For an unforgettable journey through the heart of the Canadian Rockies, the Rocky Mountaineer is a must. This luxurious train ride offers multiple routes, but the most famous is the two-day trip from Vancouver to Banff or Jasper, Alberta. Along the way, travelers are treated to awe-inspiring views of snow-capped mountains, glacial lakes, thick pine forests, and deep valleys.
The train’s glass-domed carriages ensure that passengers don’t miss a single vista, and the open-air observation cars allow you to feel the fresh mountain air. The Rocky Mountaineer is known for its excellent service, including gourmet meals served onboard, making the journey as comfortable as it is scenic. Key highlights include passing through Hell’s Gate in the Fraser Canyon and crossing the dramatic Kicking Horse Pass, where the train navigates some of the steepest railroad grades in the world.
