While there are many tour programs to the Canadian Rockies, only Train Holidays offers one with a magical and nostalgic beginning, travel aboard a 1940"s style private streamliner train, our own "Great Western Limited" to stunning Glacier National Park, Montana. Our guests enjoy a manner and style of train travel that has all but vanished with a choice of Pullman sleeping car accommodations, all with private facilities, comfortable beds, fluffy pillows and turn-down service.
Onboard, there is an inviting dining & lounge area for relaxing in and meals are freshly prepared onboard by a skilled chef and served on tables graced with fresh roses and white linen. All meals, wines & spirits while aboard are included and there is simply no finer way to travel from Seattle to glorious Glacier National Park.
At Glacier National Park we have included the storied "Going to the Sun" Highway on the famed red open-air "jammer buses" and this is only an entrée to our next visual treat, breathtakingly beautiful and seldom-visited Waterton National Park in Alberta, a charming village many of our guests consider the highlight of their Canadian Rockies holiday. We then travel to Banff, stopping en route at the acclaimed Head Smashed-In Buffalo Jump Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage site, for a four-night stay in the heart of Banff Township. Few tours offer four nights in Banff and this allows time not only to see the nearby area and we have included visits to lovely Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, Yoho National Park and more, but also large amounts of free time for you to enjoy this remarkable mountain setting at your own pace. All sightseeing in the Canadian Rockies is included. Many meals are also included with such treats as breakfast at Chateau Lake Louise one day and dinner one evening at Le Beaujolais overlooking the Bow River, one of the highest rated restaurants in Canada.
With a stylish and elegant private train, magical Glacier National Park, picturesque Waterton Lake and four indulgent nights in Banff, this leisurely holiday will sell out quickly and prompt reservations are encouraged.
