Winter in Jasper & the Canadian Rockies
Jasper National Park is a magical place to explore during winter
Rocky Mountain rail tours, whether you snowshoe or cross-country ski the mountain trails, or take a guided tour of enchanting Maligne Canyon, a truly unbelievable spectacle of icy limestone cliffs and a whitewater river seemingly frozen in time. And to enjoy the winter wonderland in comfort, finish off with a cozy sleigh ride, or soak in the scenery from the luxury of the observation car of your
Canadian Rockies train.
Hit the Summer Slopes
The warm seasons bring thousands to Jasper monthly, to enjoy the lush wilderness and captivating wildlife. Watch whole herds of mountain goats and bighorn sheep, as well as deer of all sizes (including enormous moose and caribou), and if you're lucky you might get a glimpse at some of the most charismatic hunters in the world: wolves, cougars, wolverines, and even black & grizzly bears call Jasper home.
For those interested in fishing and boating, Jasper National Park is the highlight of
Rocky Mountains rail tours. Nestled between breathtaking mountain beaks, beautiful Maligne Lake is the 2nd largest glacier fed lake in the Rocky Mountains. Tour this exquisite, tranquil setting on a boat cruise, and stop at famous Spirit Island, one of the most popular sights in the park, and perhaps one of the most iconic and enduring symbols of the
Canadian Rockies. Or if you prefer to make your own way, you could canoe the lake (and drop a line in the water to catch a trout for dinner!), or even hike or horseback ride the scenic trails.
Any Vancouver vacation package truly combines the best of both worlds: the energy of a lively modern city surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of the great outdoors.
