This Mountainous Journey Was Named the Best Winter Train Route in the World

"Departs from Vancouver and heads east toward the Canadian Rockies, passing through dense forests and narrow river canyons; after one night on board you arrive in a mountain town that serves as the route's arrival point. The journey includes a night in a private sleeper car, all meals, and access to the train’s viewing areas, which have oversized windows. JRPass gave the train a score of 8.94 out of 10, calling the route an "unrivaled showcase of Canada's majestic winter landscapes." The trip also has a 4.5‑star average rating on TripAdvisor and sees almost 140 inches of average annual snowfall, a key component to the magic of a winter train ride." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.
