Rocky Mountaineer Train to Whistler

If you are looking for a one day train trip from Vancouver, consider Rocky Mountaineer’s Vancouver/Whistler train trip.

The train to Whistler is available daily, except Tuesday and Wednesday, from May 18 until September 24, 2012.

For the first time ever, the Rocky Mountaineer GoldLeaf Dome car will be available on the Whistler route from June 14 until August 24, 2012.

From downtown Vancouver, you will be picked up from one of a number of Vancouver hotels and delivered to the Rocky Mountaineer train station in North Vancouver. The train leaves the North Vancouver rail station at 8:00 AM. The return trip begins in Whistler at 3:30 PM.

Breakfast is served on the train and a late lunch is served on the return trip from Whistler to Vancouver. When you reach the North Vancouver train station in the evening, buses are waiting to return you to downtown Vancouver.

After the Rocky Mountaineer train to Whistler leaves the North Vancouver station, it skirts the coast, goes under the Lions Gate bridge and continues along the shore of West Vancouver before it reaches the banks of Howe Sound. From there it hugs the coastline to Squamish.

Along the way, you’ll see ocean, mountains, rivers, lakes, the Porteau Cove campground and dive area, Britannia Beach historic community and the spectacular Shannon Falls.

Once you reach Squamish, the train leaves the ocean and goes into the Cheakamus Canyon before emerging in the rugged mountains where you’ll see glaciers and  Brandywine Falls

If you have more than one day, we recommend your spending a night or two in Whistler. You’ll find Whistler hotels beautiful and affordable.

Once you arrive in Whistler, there’s a lot to do. Take the Peak to Peak gondola between Whistler and Blackcomb mountain, go ziptrekking, walk around Lost Lake or visit Whistler Village shops and restaurants. There’s also time for flight seeing over glaciers and rugged mountain ranges.

Whistler Rail and Wings Adventure

Another alternative is to take our Rocky Mountaineer and Whistler float plane trip. You’ll take the train in one direction and a float plane in the other. This memorable trip includes the spectacular scenery from the train and the dramatic scenery from the air. You’ll see Mt. Garibaldi, Black Tusk, Garibaldi Lake and amazing wilderness on your 35 minute flight between Whistler’s Green Lake where you’ll take off and Vancouver’s Inner Harbour where you’ll land. (This trip is available in either direction.)

Price for the train/float plane adventure is $317 per person for Classic Service and $427 per person for Dome Service. Add 12% tax to these prices.

As you plan, keep in mind that if you take the train in both directions, you’ll have about 3 hours in Whistler. If you take the Rocky Mountaineer in one direction and the float plane in the other, you’ll have about 5 hours in Whistler.
