Awe-inspiring mountains, icefi elds, wind-rippled prairies and a coastline gashed with fjords;<br />
<strong>Canada</strong>’s western-most provinces of British Columbia and Alberta have some of the world’s<br />
most spectacular wilderness.<br />
British Columbia melds this scenic splendour with the sophistication of Vancouver and the oldworld<br />
charm of its province capital, Victoria. Several magnifi cent rail and road journeys begin<br />
on this western seaboard. The Sea to Sky Highway leads to Whistler through majestic alpine<br />
scenery, with the Rocky Mountaineer train taking a similar path. Join the Rocky Mountaineer<br />
on another great rail journey passing through canyons and lakes on your way to neighbouring<br />
Alberta.<br />
Set sail on the Pacifi c Ocean through the famed Inside Passage or cruise the Discovery Coast.<br />
Not only is the landscape magnifi cent but the land and sea abounds with wildlife, including<br />
whales, sea lions, bears and elk.<br />
Sublime alpine Lake Louise and mountain resorts, including Banff and Jasper, entice travellers<br />
inland to Alberta. Calgary and its famous stampede and Edmonton, <strong>Canada</strong>’s festival city, which<br />
boasts the world’s largest shopping and entertainment complex, add to its allure.<br />
Both provinces are home to many First Nations – <strong>Canada</strong>’s original inhabitants. Discover their<br />
ancient culture by sleeping in a tipi or watching traditional dances. Kayak along routes used by<br />
centuries of fur trappers or paddle across tranquil fjords in the company of otters and porpoises.<br />
