We are considering a trip from Vancouver to Lake Louise sometime next year. I say winter, my husband says spring or fall. Any advice on the most beautiful time to go?
Lake Louise and Banff are not served by Via Rail Canada and haven't been since 1991. The only rail service is the Rocky Mountaineer tour train, so if you have your heart set on going by rail, you have to go on one of their tours.We are considering a trip from Vancouver to Lake Louise sometime next year.

But , you can take Via from Vancouver to Jasper and then bus/car down to Lake Louise and Banff. I have made that trip several times and found Spring to be a great time to see the sights in that area.Lake Louise and Banff are not served by Via Rail Canada and haven't been since 1991.

It is gorgeous country any time of year, but I think fall is the best.

Too expensive, though!What absolutely gorgeous photos! Thank you.But , you can take Via from Vancouver to Jasper and then bus/car down to Lake Louise and Banff.

I am sending my girlfriend an email with the link saying, "THIS is why we MUST take the train to Canada!"
You mean there's not a way to go Greyhound?Too expensive, though!
Not if your dates are flexible and you watch for Via's specials.Too expensive, though!
I was quoting the "This is why we MUST take the train to Canada!" Besides, I did it a long time ago with a special, I was just telling you that it's very expensive. Specials are specials, not low bucket.You mean there's not a way to go Greyhound?Too expensive, though!
I don't think it's poor value, just that the price is simply too high.Not expensive if you consider the product and amenities that are being offered. If you’re just looking for transportation……there’s Greyhound as previously noted or fly to Vancouver or Calgary and rent a car.
…….Just like staying at a hotel: Days Inn and Fairmont both offer a bed and a meal but a lot of people are quite willing to pay extra for the amenities of the Fairmont and the service that goes with it.
