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.

Resort info
On a Jasper ski holiday, you stay in the town of Jasper which is surrounded by lakes, mountains and forests High above this Canadian Rockies town lies Marmot Basin ski area. Marmot Basin has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with magnificent views across the Rockies. 20 minutes from town by car or bus (around $23 return), Marmot Basin has something for everyone.
There are wide-open nursery slopes for beginners, plenty of options for novices looking to improve mostly on the lower parts of the mountain. There is lots of scope for intermediates looking to show-off their skills off of the Marmot Peak. Advanced skiers will enjoy the steeps and glades off Eagle Ridge, with those looking to find new lines able to hike the Knob or Cornice.
Marmot’s newest terrain, Tres Hombres, is a large, north-facing and treeless slope, 45 acres in size within which provides incredible advanced and expert off-piste skiing and snowboarding terrain. Tres Hombres – named after the ZZ Top album of the same name from the 70s – is a dream for expert skiers; steep, long and wide open.
New for the 2023/24 season is the Knob Chair opening up the upper reaches of Marmot with new expert terrain on the Marmot Cirque bowl via a quad chair carrying 1200 people per hour.
Many choose a ski holiday to Jasper as a twin-centre destination with Banff or Lake Louise.
