Billed as ‘the best view in Jasper’, the Jasper SkyTram whisks you up to an incredible 2,263 metres, from where you’ll be able to access a boardwalk which will give you some sweet as vistas of downtown Jasper and the surrounding scenery. If you’re wanting even more of a bird’s eye view, then hike up to the summit of Whistlers Peak from here, which will give you a full 360 of six whole mountain ranges including Mt. Robson – the highest mountain in Canada.

If all that skiing or riding has you parched, then you don’t even have to leave the mountain to refuel. The cosy Paradise Chalet & Eagle Alpine Lodge is situated within the oldest building on the mountain, and they’ve got everything from coffee and smokehouse-style grub to a bar. Open until 4pm, it’s a solid spot to refuel if you’re wanting a bit of time out without getting off the mountain.

While all of Jasper is breathtaking, the jewel in this alpine town’s crown is Maligne Lake. Just shy of a 50 km drive away, it’s a postcard-worthy spot that is all about towering peaks and forest-dappled slopes against a backdrop of deep blue waters. You can go hiking here, hop aboard a scenic boat cruise, or go canoeing. However, the real star of the show is the drive to get here, which offers magnificent scenery and wildlife including black bears, beavers, bald eagles and elk. You might even be lucky enough to spot a moose in the aptly-named Moose Lake nearby.
