These are just a few of the reasons why Jasper National Park is a top choice for luxury holidays.

When To Visit

Jasper is quieter in autumn, so you have a better chance of seeing wildlife up close. Since the animals move closer to towns to mate, you have a higher chance of seeing animals between September and November.

As well as late afternoon and dusk, dawn is the ideal time of day to see local wildlife. Mornings arrive later in October creating a better opportunity to get out on viewing trails. October is also the last opportunity to complete a summit hike before the snow comes.

Food & Drink

Enjoy the wonders of your natural surroundings while you dine on exquisite dishes from gourmet restaurants. Cuisine includes Canadian inspired dishes with native influences like Alberta's prime beef, local game like elk or moose and fresh salmon. Complete your meal with world-class choices from an extensive Canadian wine list.

The best way to unwind after a day of exploring Jasper's many attractions is by reclining beside a large stone fireplace in hand-made log furniture. You'll also have the joy of breathtaking mountain views.

As a precaution, you may want to travel with a photocopy of your passport along with the original. British nationals don't need a visa to visit Jasper, Canada, but will need Electronic Travel Authorisation before you travel. Find advice on passports, visas and travel at GOV.UK.
