SNOWSHOEING

(offered november - april)

Have you ever wanted to try the time honoured Canadian tradition of snowshoeing? Have you ever strapped a pair of tennis racquets on your boots and tramped around in the snow for fun? Perhaps you’ve yearned to compete in the snowshoeing race events: 100m dash, 2 mile event and 4’ hurdle? Rumour has it that the hurdle event in snowshoeing preceded its summer counterpart by almost ten years!

From old-timers to some-timers, for dashers to prancers, snowshoeing (or slowshoeing!) is an adventurous and unique way to experience Jasper National Park.

*Best followed up with a trip to the local pub to rest your tired feet and share some embellished stories of your escapades*

In town pickup and drop offs provided.

This tour is available as a private booking only. Please contact for availability.

Private Tour: 1-3 people: Half Day $349 + GST | Full Day $525 + GST

Jacques Lake Cabin Overnight Trek

**Current Availability: None left for 2024-25 season

join Sean on a special backcountry trip to Jacques Lake Cabin this winter. Beginners are welcome!

  • Quick Description: 12 km, one-way snowshoe trip

  • Elevation Gain to Hut: 250m

  • Approach Time: 4 to 7 hours

  • Dates: None available. Please inquire if interested

Snowshoe through a beautiful valley nestled between two big mountain ranges. There are several lakes along the way and plenty of opportunity to soak in the spectacular views. We gain 250m over the course of 12 kms, making it a relatively flat trail to reach Jacques Lake Cabin.

After a gourmet meal at the cabin, we plan to stay up to watch the stars and share a few stories our constellations tell in the night sky.

Jasper is the largest accessible Dark Sky Preserve in the world. By staying at a remote backcountry lodge, well away from town lights, with an excellent view of the sky looking north, we hope to see the Aurora Borealis as well!

For all backpacking trips, guests are responsible to provide their own personal hiking equipment. A gear list will be sent to you upon booking.

  • Snowshoes, ice cleats and hiking poles are all provided with the trip. Sleeping bags can be rented through us for an additional cost.

  • All prices include the hut booking, permits, food, your guide and group camping equipment. If you want to provide your own food for the trip, please reach out to us and we are happy to reduce the price by $100/person.
