Explore a region renowned for its hot springs and hundreds of miles of trails that offer superlative downhill skiing, backcountry treks and astounding panoramic vistas where an array of wildlife roam free. Indoors, there is boutique hopping, elegant dining and chateaux retreats. Even "getting there" can be high adventure, with train rides aboard the Rocky Mountaineer, scenic drives along the Continental Divide, and Snocoach rides across treacherous ice fields. The vibrant city of Vancouver blends the call of the wild with big city charm.
