Unmissable Jasper Experiences
Western Canada- Jasper
Jasper
Sights, scenery & adventure at every turn
With shimmering glaciers, abundant wildlife, crystalline lakes, thundering waterfalls, deep canyons and evergreen forest all flanked by towering peaks, it’ s little wonder Jasper National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At 4,335 square miles it’ s also Canada’ s largest park in the Rockies and the world’ s second largest Dark Sky Preserve. The laid-back town of Jasper is your springboard to the park’ s outdoor pursuits and attractions, welcoming visitors with a selection of shops and a vibrant culinary scene with everything from cosy cafés to elegant dining. Adventurers can fill their boots with alpine day hikes, adrenalin pumping mountain biking, great paddling, climbing and canyoning. Those preferring a more relaxed pace can take in scenic drives, picnic amongst majestic mountains, or watch for wildlife such as caribou, elk, moose, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, bears, wolves and numerous birds. For an aerial perspective, ride the Jasper SkyTram. It takes seven minutes to reach the high Upper Station where the jaw-dropping views include six mountain ranges. Additional attractions include Miette Hot Springs, which are the hottest springs in the Rockies; stunning Maligne Lake whose baby-blue water and circle of photogenic peaks are a feast for the eyes; and the steep, narrow gorge of Maligne Canyon. Also not to be missed is the Columbia Icefield where you can hop aboard an Ice Explorer onto the Athabasca Glacier or step out onto the suspended glass platform of the Columbia Icefield Skywalk.
