Calgary the city of
cowboys, cattle and foothills.
This is the perfect jumping-off point to
the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Being only one hour from Banff and Lake
Louise and having an international airport makes Calgary ideally situated.
The famous Rocky Mountaineer trains depart from Calgary to Vancouver in the summer
months.
Please note VIA Rail trains do not run through Calgary and there
is no train service from Calgary to Eastern Canada.
Those wishing to travel on
VIA rail from Alberta would depart from Edmonton and Jasper.
