Jasper Winter Couple Getaways At Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge

Baby, it’s cold outside.

Are you looking for an escape this winter, where you can unwind and take in the grand views of the Canadian Rockies? We recommend getting away to the mountains together where your winter dreams come alive.

If you’re looking for a big adventure or a snowflake-fueled romantic setting, the Lodge will ensure your trip is tailored to your vision.

Day 1:

We recommend arriving at the Lodge around noon and checking your bags with our Bell team. Concierge is just steps instead of the entrance, and they can help direct you to your next activity.

Skate the afternoon away, or book a tour at Maligne Canyon for the Ice Walk.

  • A great way to spend the afternoon in the fresh mountain air is ice skating on Lake Mildred. The ice rink boosts a kilometre long oval, and areas cleared for a game of shinny. Our Winter Activity Centre is available for skate rentals if you did not pack your own.
  • Take a guided Ice Walk Tour at Maligne Canyon, and you will experience the canyons naturally formed beauty.

Check in to your cabin before heading to the outdoor heated pool. On a clear day, the mountains surrounding the Lodge are visible across Lac Beauvert.

Finish a great day at one of the Lodge’s great dining experience. The Emerald Lounge offers a tapas menu of farm-to-table and locally sourced items. Ask us for our favourite recommendations on our delightful cocktails.

Spend your afternoon sightseeing, or visiting the shops in the lower part of the Lodge (or tour the Town of Jasper).

  • A few must-sees in the park are the Athabasca Falls, Sunwapta Falls, Maligne Canyon, Maligne Lake, and more! Discover the tours and sites to see when visiting Jasper in the winter.
  • Located on the Main Lodge’s lower level is the Fairmont Store, Fitzhugh’s To-Go, and the Spa. If you are looking for additional shopping, the Town of Jasper hosts various souvenir shops and more.

After dinner, dig into dessert or experience the out of this world experience at the Jasper Planetarium.
