Holidays to Jasper

Book any of our Jasper holidays and soon be off to visit this intimate community that originated as a railway town; Jasper may be small, but this mountain hamlet has the ability to astound from the moment you arrive.

Holidays to Jasper are unique for one incredible reason – it is situated in the heart of Jasper National Park, the largest of its kind in the Rocky Mountains. Teeming with striking glaciers, lush forestry, piercing blue lakes and thundering waterfalls, it is no wonder this park is one of Canada’s 15 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. You will be dazzled by the scenery that surrounds you at every turn, as a holiday here will really open your eyes to the tremendous power of Mother Nature. Wildlife is often seen sauntering along the edges of the town, so keep your eyes peeled as you explore the streets.

Jasper’s remote location has one major benefit. Due to the lack of artificial light in the area, the park is a designated dark sky preserve. If you are looking for a romantic evening with an extraordinary twist, make sure you go stargazing in the wilderness for some of the best views on the planet of the awesome expanse of the Milky Way.

Unsurprisingly, Jasper is a must-visit destination for outdoor adventurers. Traverse the vast landscapes on horseback, breathing in the fresh mountain air and taking in the sights and sounds of your surroundings. The rock-climbing opportunities in Jasper are renowned around the world. Whitewater rafting along one of Jasper’s many rivers and ravines is also popular due to the challenging nature of the navigation.  Canoeing, fishing and golfing are also on offer in the warmer months.

If you are visiting in the colder weather, fear not – Jasper is fully equipped for a plethora of winter sports. From ice-climbing up frozen canyons to skiing across powdered mountains, you will never be short of things to do in Jasper no matter when you visit. If you are looking for a sightseeing tour with a difference, strap yourself and go dog sledging for the thrill of a lifetime.

Perhaps you aren’t a thrill seeker and are dreaming of the chance to relax in gorgeous surroundings. Jasper is home to many high-end restaurants serving world-class cuisine, luxury spas and the deliciously toasty Miette Hot Springs that overlook the Fiddler River Valley.

Top tips for visiting Jasper

1. Pack Layers

As you will be in the midst of the mountains, the weather can change very quickly. Make sure you pack layers – you can never go wrong with some jumpers and sunscreen!

2. Go camping

With over 2,000 individual camp sites in Jasper National Park, there is no better place to truly become one with nature. Add a camping trip to your trip to add a little adventure – you will wake up every day to the most beautiful views imaginable.

3. Don’t Feed the Wildlife

Although it may be tempting to feed the local wildlife as you come close to them, this can be incredibly dangerous. Much of the food could harm them – you are in their natural habitat, so just enjoy watching them from a distance.

4. Drink the Water
