Traveling across Canada by train in winter on Via Rail's The Canadian offers one of the most scenic and luxurious journeys in the world. This iconic four day train ride transports passengers between Toronto and Vancouver in comfort and style. Furthermore, it offers a unique opportunity to take in breathtaking landscapes, including the majestic Rocky Mountains of British Columbia and Alberta, the vast open prairies of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and the pristine forests of northern Ontario. Stunning at any time of year, these vistas are at their most magical when they are transformed into a snowy winter wonderland. Passengers in Prestige and Sleeper Classes enjoy an immersive onboard experience, dining on regional dishes such as BC salmon and Alberta beef in a formal dining car fitted with white linens and fine China. Many afternoons feature local wine and beer tasting events in the observation car, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding scenery. After a three-course dinner and perhaps a nightcap in the bullet car, travelers return to their cozy berths or cabins where their beds have been turned down, fresh towels laid out, and a chocolate placed on their pillows. Whether you're a fan of slow travel, enjoy scenic rail journeys, or simply want to explore Canada from a new perspective, traveling across Canada by train is a truly unforgettable journey.
