Jasper, Alberta is a top destination for vacations in the Canadian Rockies. There are tons of great activities for you and your family to do while you’re vacationing in Jasper National Park: rafting is only part of the fun! Jasper is known for its wildlife, so why not try a wildlife sightseeing tour? If you’re in Jasper, Alberta during the winter, warm up with some hot cocoa and a team of sled-dogs on a dogsledding tour! Spice up your Jasper rafting vacation with one or more of the fun activities below.

Jasper Rafting

This is number one for the Jasper Rafting Alliance! When spring arrives, there is nothing like setting off down the Sunwapta River, and other great Canadian Rockies rivers with nothing between you and the raging waters but an inflatable raft. This is a great way to spot wildlife grazing at the side of the river without disturbing them. While you’re in Jasper, make sure to check out Banff rafting as well, as it’s only a few hours drive away.

Jasper National Park, Alberta

Naturally, this is why most people come to Jasper. Jasper National Park is unbeatable for its scenery, activities, and myriad vacation opportunities for all travelers, whether your here with family, friends, or on a corporate retreat.

Jasper Tramway

This is one of the easiest (laziest) ways to get the best views around town. The longest and highest aerial tramway in the Rockies, two tram cars zip up and down the mountain to the height of 8,200ft where you are met by a licensed restaurant and some great hiking trails. Stay as long as you like, but check with the driver for a return schedule. Do not leave Jasper without trying the Jasper Tramway Shuttle Tour.

Athabasca Falls

If you are looking for the photo opportunity that will make everyone at home jealous, head to the Athabasca Falls. It is the spot where the Athabasca River meets a narrow gorge and the result is so powerful, it will take your breath away. If you’d like to see for yourself, there are a couple of hiking tours available–don’t forget to bring proper footwear!

Jasper Snowshoeing Tours

Bundle up and get ready to explore the winter wonderland that is Jasper National Park. No experience necessary! Jasper snowshoeing tours are custom-made for you: depending on the snow conditions, your guide will go out and find the perfect trail for you and your friends or family. This is a great way to see winter wildlife and learn about the area from an experienced guide!
