Your Gateway to the Wilderness

Perched on the side of Whistlers Mountain, HI-Jasper is the place in Jasper to connect with nature and other like-minded budget and adventure-seeking travellers. The mountain peak out the front door begs to be climbed and with the trailhead only steps away, how can you resist?

Escape the mundane!

Escaping crowds, tourists, commercialism and a pumping nightlife, Jasper yields an attractive alternative for anyone seeking a small town retreat or wilderness escape. One of four National Parks, the most amazing vistas that this National Park is renowned for, can be seen as you drive the world famous Icefield Parkway, from Banff towards Jasper. The thunderous Sunwapta and Athabasca Falls mark the edge between Banff and Jasper National Parks and be sure to get the up close and personal experience with the Columbia Icefields.

Stock up before you come up.

Before you head up to the hostel, be sure to pick up your groceries and beer in town then kick back and enjoy the social atmosphere as you cook dinner alongside fellow hostellers. 

Our larger than normal dorm-style accommodation may require a sense of humour but will facilitate opportunity for your to connect with like minded travellers. Perfect way to share and plan for the abundance of outdoor adventures near the hostel.
