For a limited time next summer, guests can experience the heart of the Canadian Rockies and experience two popular destinations on a new route, Passage to the Peaks.
Beginning and ending in the iconic mountain towns of Banff and Jasper, guests can immerse themselves in the evergreen forests, sparkling glacial lakes and towering mountains that define the magnificent Canadian Rockies.
Offered from June 10 to June 30, Passage to the Peaks is Rocky Mountaineer’s only route that doesn’t travel to the West Coast.
Instead, after departing Jasper or Banff, guests will journey to Kamloops and spend the night there, before boarding the train the following morning and travelling on to Jasper or Banff (whichever they didn’t depart from) to complete their journey.
Highlights include the dramatic scenery of the Continental Divide, Craigellachie (where the last spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway was driven), climbing Yellowhead Pass, Pyramid Falls, Mount Robson, Rogers Pass, Kicking Horse Canyon and the renowned Spiral Tunnels. Plus, seeing the iconic glaciers and snow-capped peaks of this epic mountain range.
Guests can also spend quality time exploring Banff National Park, Lake Minnewanka and Bow Falls in Banff, plus Jasper National Park and Maligne Lake in Jasper at the beginning and/or end of their train journey.
Certain packages also include the opportunity to ride an Ice Explorer (vehicle designed for glacial travel) to the middle of the Athabasca Glacier, which was formed thousands of years ago and located in Columbia Icefields – one of the largest icefields south of the Arctic Circle.
A two-day Passage to the Peaks journey, departing on those set dates, costs from CAD$2579 pp (approx.£1377.90*) in Silver Leaf Service or from CAD$3549 pp (approx. £1896.16 *) in Gold Leaf Service.
The price includes all meals onboard Rocky Mountaineer, one night’s stay at a hotel in Kamloops, and luggage handling and rail station transfers in Kamloops. It does not include flights.
