Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge
A village of superbly appointed guestrooms and heritage log cabins, the 700-acre Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is a year-round luxury mountain resort that wraps around the shores of pristine Lac Beauvert in Jasper National Park.
At more than 4,200 square miles, Jasper is Canada’s largest national park and an undisputed jewel of the Canadian Rockies. You’d think, therefore, that it’s an unlikely place for a world-class golf course. But the resort’s Stanley Thompson-designed course has been rated the best in Canada for the past 20 years and is virtually peerless when it comes to fairway views.
Other summertime pursuits include kayaking and canoeing on beautiful Lac Beauvert, trail rides on horseback through the rearing Rockies, fly-fishing, mountain biking and stargazing experiences in the world’s second-largest Dark Sky Preserve. Come winter, guests can take advantage of the 91 ski runs at nearby Marmot Basin, which boasts the highest base elevation of any ski area in Canada, or try their hand at everything from snowshoeing and tobogganing to fat-tyre biking, canyon ice walking and cross-country skiing.
An outdoor heated pool, fully equipped health club and sublime spa help guests to relax, while a range of great restaurants ensure all tastes are catered for.
