Overview

About

Gaze across the Athabasca River and envision 50 years of fur trading history located at the junction of towering mountain ranges and mountain passes. For almost half a century Jasper House was the main stopping place for fur traders using the Athabasca, and Yellowhead passes, and an important meeting place for adventurers, voyageurs, artists and missionaries. A short, beautiful walk leads you to the Jasper House viewpoint and interpretation panels.

When to go

The Jasper House National Historic Site is always open, inviting visitors year-round. However, the best time to visit is during the summer months when the trails are clear and the weather is favourable for outdoor activities. Winter visits offer a unique experience, though accessibility may be limited due to snow.

Know before you go

  • Always check the weather forecast before planning your visit, as conditions can change rapidly in the mountains.
  • Accessibility may vary seasonally, with potential closures due to snow in the winter months.
  • While the site is always open, it's best to visit during daylight hours to fully appreciate the historic structures and scenic views.
  • Remember to respect the site's cultural heritage and natural environment during your visit.
