Imagine walking through a deep canyon over frozen rapids and waterfalls. The Maligne Canyon is the perfect spot for an ice walk.

Wildlife tours explore the stunning Maligne Lake region in Jasper National Park. The winter wildlife can include moose, caribou, bull elk, bighorn sheep, wolves, coyotes and more.
Another classic Canadian winter experience. Dog sledding connects you to the past as you wind your way through the mountains in the same way as the original explorers of Jasper National Park.
