Jasper National Park is right in the heart of the Canadian Rockies and is one of the most beautiful spots in all of Canada.
Most holidaymakers who visit Jasper stay in the alpine town with the same name, a perfect base for all the guided tours of Maligne Valley, Spirit Island, and Maligne Lake. Here you can also take the Jasper Skytram, which speeds you up Whistlers Mountain to some of the most incredible, panoramic views in North America.
If you prefer your creature comforts then a trip to the luxury Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is a must, with its heritage log cabins in picturesque surroundings. Those who want to get a little more active should head to Marmot Basin, where there’s some of the best skiing in the country. And, of course, you can take the scenic route down to the Columbia Icefields, a natural wonder that will wow even the most seasoned traveller.
Despite snow being an important part in many of the main natural highlights around the national park, like the Athabasca Glacier and Maligne Canyon, Jasper tours are an excellent escape year-round. The region bursts into life in spring and summer, offering idyllic, breath-taking hikes along the Athabasca River. With that said, if you want to see everything a Jasper holiday has to offer but in comfort and style, the Rocky Mountaineer train chugs through the most scenic parts of this wonderland year-round, so you can take in shimmering lakes and jagged peaks without breaking a sweat.

You're sure to have a sensational time in Jasper. Here are some of our favourite experiences to try.
Their meat is prized like no other, so if you get the opportunity to try a bite, definitely don't pass it up. A bison steak is a must for any visitor looking to get an authentic taste of Albertan cuisine.
There’s nothing more rewarding than a cold beer after a day of taking in Jasper’s natural beauty via a stirring hike, and nobody does brews better than Jasper Brewing Co. Try as many of the local concoctions as you can, but don’t be too heartbroken when you can’t find any beers that are this tasty when you’re back home.
