Restaurants & cafés
Aalto
A Nordic-inspired restaurant in the Jasper townsite serving refined, seasonally driven dishes in a calm, modern room. It's the town's most ambitious cooking, built around mountain and Canadian ingredients.
Becker's Gourmet Restaurant
A refined restaurant at Becker's Chalets just south of town, overlooking the Athabasca River with Rocky Mountain cuisine. The riverside setting and the careful cooking make it a special-occasion choice.
Trails & outdoors
Maligne Canyon Loop
An easy walk along the rim of a deep limestone gorge, crossing footbridges over waterfalls and potholes. The dramatic canyon and the multiple bridge viewpoints pack a lot into a short trail.
Old Fort Point Loop
A short but steep loop to a rocky knoll with panoramic views over the Athabasca River and the peaks around the townsite. It's the best effort-to-view ratio close to town.
Things to do
Jasper SkyTram
Canada's highest and longest guided aerial tramway, climbing Whistlers Mountain to an alpine station with sweeping views and a ridge walk to the summit. On a clear day you can see six mountain ranges.
Maligne Lake Cruise
An interpretive boat cruise across glacier-fed Maligne Lake to the iconic, otherwise-inaccessible Spirit Island. The guided narration and the famous island viewpoint make it the area's signature experience.
Landmarks & sights
Maligne Lake & Spirit Island
A long, glacier-fed lake ringed by peaks, home to Spirit Island, one of the most photographed scenes in the Canadian Rockies, reachable only by boat. The color, the mountains, and the remote island view are unforgettable.
Maligne Canyon
A dramatic limestone gorge near the townsite where the river has carved narrow walls crossed by a series of footbridges over waterfalls. In winter it becomes a famous frozen ice-canyon walk.
