Q: We are planning to visit Canada in September and would very much like to do a short (3-5 days) scenic train trip through the Canadian Rockies. Have you any suggestions as to what there is to offer and who to contact? - Flora Caveney
A: Look no further than the Rocky Mountaineer, which is a Canadian company that operates trains on four rail routes through British Columbia and Alberta. it has won numerous awards, including the "World's Leading Travel Experience by Train" at the World Travel Awards. One of the trips that may suit you best is the five day/four night Canadian Rockies Excursion, which gives you two days on the train, two days in Banff National Park and a tour to Lake Louise. This very popular package includes breakfast and lunch on both days on the train, overnight acccommodation In Vancouver, Kamloops and Banff, and an evening wildlife safari. Prices range from 1279 US dollars per person to 2909 US dollars per person for the premier GoldLeaf service. The train runs from April 23 from Vancouver or Calgary, with the last departure on October 2. You can get further details on the www.canadianrockiestrains.com and www.rockymountaineer.com websites.
