During the winter season, we only offer the VIA Rail tour departing from Vancouver, which includes must-visit locations in the Rockies before the end of April. The VIA train will depart from Vancouver to Jasper. After spending two leisurely days in Jasper, you will take a shuttle bus to Banff and join our bus tour the following day.
