Jasper Ski Holidays | Canada

Tailor-made ski holidays to Jasper 2026/2027

Nestled in Alberta’s spectacular Jasper National Park, the historic town of Jasper is a charming, laid-back alpine community that serves as the perfect basecamp for world-class skiing at Marmot Basin ski resort. Accessing the ski mountain from the town centre is seamless thanks to a daily winter ski shuttle service; this convenient shuttle makes multiple morning pickups directly from major Jasper hotels. Alternatively, if you opt for a car hire, the ski area is a quick and scenic 20-minute drive.

PLEASE NOTE: An overnight stay in Edmonton is required to reach Jasper due to flight times. Alternatively, you can fly into Calgary, arrange a car hire, and stop off in world-famous Banff or Lake Louise on the way through—but when you get there, it is well worth it. You will also need an overnight in Edmonton on your return journey unless you arrange a private transfer or car hire due to flight and airport transfer timings.
