What to do and see in Jasper, Canadian Rockies: The Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers

February 18, 2022 Matilde Konrad

Escape the urban bustle and make Jasper your home base for exploring Canada's extraordinary wilderness. As a mountain town, it's low-key and unpretentious with good food and drink; as a destination, it's an outdoor sports lover's playground, with hiking and golfing in summer and skiing and dog sledding in winter. If it's chilly, heat up at Miette Hot Springs in the National Park.

This was my favorite of the 2 gondola/sky trams we took up to the mountains. Banff gondola, Lake Louise gondola & Jasper Sky Tram. the scenery was fantastic at the top, you could see the entire valley, the town of Jasper and Whistler etc. Once there you could hike up to the top of the mountain or just sit on rocks taking in the scenery.

We ski one day per trip when travelling to Jasper. I love the parking alongside the runs. Parking is easy, and access to the run down to the lift is at the end of the parking lot. fantastic variety of difficulties, great snow, lifts, and amenities.
