Why wait for summer? Canada is just as sweet outside peak season – and with fewer crowds to spoil the view
Sweet spring Canada’s open, natural landscapes wake up to spring with a profusion of wild flowers, and there’s no better way to appreciate them than by train. Hop on board the Rocky Mountaineer’s First Passage to the West to experience the very best that this historic route has to offer. Follow the trail from the coast to the mountains, winding through the canyons and lakes of British Columbia to the soaring peaks of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains. See Craigellachie, where the last spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway was driven, explore the breathtaking beauty of Banff, Lake Louise and Yoho National Park, and end your adventures on a high with a thrilling helicopter ride over the Rockies! Taste the springtime with a trip to the
Sucrerie de la Montagne in Quebec, where maple syrup is produced in the time- honoured way, by tapping the maple tree and using a wood-fired evaporator. After learning how it’s made, enjoy an all-you-can- eat ‘sugaring-off’ feast of traditional dishes including wood-fired baked beans, meatball stew, and delicious tourtière meat pie, followed by a sugar pie dessert. BOOK IT: Newmarket Holidays offers an 11-day Canadian Rockies tour. Prices start at £1,879 in April 2019, including flights and accommodation.
