The town of Jasper lies in the heart of Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada. Many visitors to the Canadian Rockies choose this rustic alpine village as their base, making use of the wide range of accommodation and dining options. Even if you are just passing through, you will find enough activities to keep you busy for the day.
Many of the natural attractions that draw the biggest crowds are just a short drive away. Athabasca and Tangle falls and Medicine and Patricia lakes are all popular day trips. Go rafting or hiking in Maligne Canyon, climb Mount Edith Cavell or take the Jasper aerial tramway for a great view of the town, several mountain ranges and glacial lakes. Drive the awe-inspiring Icefields Parkway to Banff and see the glacier-rich Columbia Icefield on your way.
In the freezing winter, when the snow settles, some attractions become inaccessible and this is when winter-sports enthusiasts flock to the town. Enjoy activities such as skiing in Marmot Basin and skating over the lakes. Warm up by the fireplace in one of Japser’s many cafés at the end of the day.
Jasper is half a day’s drive away from Edmonton and Calgary and shuttle buses operate from their airports. During peak season, the population of Jasper swells from fewer than 5,000 residents to about 30,000 vacationers and seasonal workers.
Summer is by far the most popular time to visit and between April and September Jasper is in full swing. There are plenty of organized tours to choose from.To discover all your options, head to the Jasper Park Information Centre. While you’re in town learn more about the local history in the Jasper-Yellowhead Museum and Archives.
If you love nature, Jasper is a dream location, perfect for unwinding after your outdoor adventures in the wilderness of the Canadian Rockies.

Everything was good and clean but the breakfast wasn’t very good and didn’t have much variety.

He photos are misleading - one feels they are renting a beautiful retreat.
It isn’t.
The cottage is run down, with a large burn on the dining room table, holes in the sitting room ottoman, and a worn out couch that we all found incredibly uncomfortable. Lack of comfortable seating was the worst part of the stay - either one sits on the worn out couch, or the hard dining room table chairs.
The interior was filled with flies - they keep landing on our heads and food. The owner’s acknowledged the flies were an issue, but she said she can’t fix the issue as she doesn’t know where they are coming in from.
When we told the owner the toaster didn’t work, she assured me that it did. She said the problem was that the plug was broken, which supplied the electricity to the toaster. (Sorry for criticizing the toaster!)
Guest bathroom towels are dishtowels.
Getting to the dock is perilous. It’s accessed down a long exterior staircase. The railway ties that once made up the stairs have lifted and twisted over time to be become dozens of hazardous, raised tripping hazards. Getting down to the dock is not for the faint of heart.
Once at the dock, access to the dock is gained by climbing over the first dock section that is covered in logs and branches, and has been distorted to a 45 degree angle, making climbing over it treacherous to say the least.
There are a series of yurts and a trailer overlooking the property.
