Adventure and outdoor activities

Throughout Canadian history, the railroad has been instrumental in exploring uncharted territories. The resounding whistle of the steam engine has launched many great adventures. It's not surprising, then, that when you heed the call of the wild, surrender to your urge to flee the civilized world and surround yourself with the beauties of nature, the train is your best travel choice.

VIA Adventures Expeditions 2003

VIA Adventures Expeditions is your invitation to climb on board and set out on boundary-defying escapades of your own. You'll love the rush of adrenaline, whether you're scaling the frozen surface of a waterfall, dog-sledding along snow-covered trails or crisscrossing the big blue sky in a hang glider. You'll marvel at the whales' gracious dance and the many sights to behold from the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Imagine the thrill of spying polar bears in their natural habitats!

Your voyage starts here, with video reports, travel journals and photo albums that are sure to fuel plans of future getaways. New reports will become available every month. Don't miss out on the adventure! Subscribe now to our VIA Adventures e-letter.
