Whistler Mountaineer

Between Vancouver and Whistler lies the Sea To Sky Route; an amazing rail journey that combines fabulous views of Vancouver and Stanley Park while later, carves its way through mountain canyons, offering teasing glimpses of tall peaks and icy blue rivers.

The two hour train journey packs more scenic variety than you could imagine – from the waterfront of West Vancouver and bright ocean views to towering snow capped peaks. And the best part is your comfortable reserved seat with large viewing window and choice of meals or snacks served by attentive staff. The train’s open viewing car is popular for sightseeing and  photography and near town of Squamish, look for the peak of Mount Garibaldi, rising 2,678 metres (8787 feet) straight from sea level.

Top picks from our trips:

One of the best short rail trips in the world, the Whistler Mountaineer exceeds all expectations. Views are sensational – it really is The Sea to Sky Route where the scenery is always changing and because it’s a railway it seems more exciting than the highway. Starting from North Vancouver the route takes you under Lions Gate Bridge (good views of Stanley Park) and through exclusive West Vancouver. Travelling from Vancouver to Whistler, a hot breakfast is served at your seat – and in our Glacier Dome Class it was delicious!. On the return southbound journey Afternoon Tea includes; sandwiches, warm scones plus strawberries and Devon Cream. This has to be the best way to travel between Vancouver and Whistler!
