Choose from two levels of service when you travel on the famous Whistler Mountaineer from Vancouver through the Rocky Mountains to Whistler Village. Travel one-way, or save money with a roundtrip ticket. Choose to visit for the day, or extend your stay to explore the pretty village a little further.
Depart from North Vancouver Rail Station for early morning views of downtown Vancouver and Stanley Park as the train hugs the scenic waterfront of West Vancouver's exclusive residential area. Pass through Horseshoe Bay Tunnel, travel along the eastern shores of Howe Sound and enjoy stunning views of the ocean and mountains.
As you near the town of Squamish, look out for the impressive cascade of Shannon Falls and the spectacular dome peak of Mount Garibaldi. Pass through the yards of the West Coast Rail Association, before climbing through the Cheakamus Canyon, where the river below tumbles through a craggy gorge. Cross over the pinnacle of Brandywine Falls before arriving at Whistler.
