A train line makes you discover the most beautiful landscapes of Canada

Canada is undoubtedly one of the territories with the most impressive landscapes. It is easy to imagine the beauty of nature, with huge lakes and mountains as far as the eye can see. The incredible spectacle is now within everyone's reach, thanks to the “Canadian” line which connects the cities of Toronto and Vancouver, separated by nearly 4,500 kilometres. The train journey, which lasts 4 nights and 3 days, includes stops in the cities of Sioux Lookout, Winnipeg, Edmonton, but also detours through Jasper National Park, the Canadian Prairies and the Rocky Mountains. Holy journey! Travelers will be able to enjoy the view while tasting champagne and delicious food prepared daily. Ah, and impossible to share the experience with its digital community:Wi-Fi is non-existent to allow passengers not to miss a crumb of the adventure.

An affordable price

François Castonguay, who works for VIA Rail Canada, insists on the uniqueness of the trip:“It's like traveling through time […] It's the exact opposite of traveling at very high speed “, he explained to the site National Geographic . And the most surprising thing is the price of the experience:$397, or €260 per person! It is rather a very good deal… Three different services are offered to travellers, economy, couchette and prestige, as well as rooms for two people which cost $1,090, that is to say €925, with a view of the starry sky. It's not cheap, but it's hard to be more romantic, right? For those who are not very connected to the Far North, a similar line crosses the United States from east to west for 200 €. Go, have an adventure!
