Canada's leaf-peeping season is short, sweet and as vast as the country itself.
From vineyards at harvest time to vast maple forests, the magnificent colours of autumn enhance the landscape.
Traveling by train is a great way to see the foliage -- and it's hands free!
VIA Rail Canada's Windsor-Québec City Corridor has multiple daily departures. Great for one-day or overnighter getaways.
Travellers with more time may select from VIA Rail's signature transcontinental service including The Canadian (Vancouver to Toronto), The Ocean (Montréal to Halifax) or The Chaleur (along Quebec's magical Gaspé Peninsula).
For extra savings, the CorridorPass offers 10 days of travel in the Ontario-Québec Corridor, available in VIA 1 or Comfort Class. Adult fares are CAD $714 for VIA 1 and CAD $299 for Comfort Class.
VIA's CanrailPass offers 12 days of travel in Comfort Class over a 30-day period.
The pass is good for travel anywhere within the VIA Rail nationwide system and upgrades to VIA 1 or various Sleeper Classes are available for a surcharge. Adult fares for the CanrailPass through October 16, 2007 are CAD $837 and drop to CAD $523 for the extended off-season.
