Western Canada

Where wide lakes carve their way through soaring snow-capped mountains and grizzly bear stalk dense pine forests - the natural wonders of Western Canada really are a sight to behold.

Famously connecting East and West Canada, a ride on the luxurious Rocky Mountaineer train will set you soaring through these spectacular landscapes, where you can witness everything from coastal rainforests and Mount Robson to Hell’s Gate and the mighty Pyramid Falls.

A land so full of natural wonders naturally attracts the adventurous. Luckily, there is plenty to keep such travellers entertained. From the ski-slopes of Whistler to the mountain bike trails of Banff National Park; the emerald lakes of Yoho National Park to the wildlife filled wildernesses of Jasper National Park, there is something for every holiday maker. And when the time comes for a spot of modern-day luxury, sophisticated cities such as Vancouver offer the perfect respite, where chic streets are home to excellent food experiences, world class museums and fabulous live music.
