What should I wear?
When packing clothing, think "resort casual" style. Casual clothing is acceptable during the day for all sessions, however for this year's Gala, we ask that you dress up in your Family Christmas Dinner outfits.
Mountain weather is variable and prone to change very quickly, so we advise visitors to bring enough clothing to dress in layers. A warm sweater and windproof jacket can be needed even in the middle of summer. In winter, a warm coat, snow boots, hats and scarves are recommended. If you plan on hiking in the mountains or walking on trails, sturdy footwear (hiking boots or running shoes) is also advisable.
What is the weather like?
The average high in Jasper for November is 1C and the average low is -9C.

Transportation
How do I get to Jasper?
No matter which route you choose, the way to Jasper is wonderfully scenic and definitely unforgettable. To assist you, we have outlined the following two access zones. Each points out the major highways and travel times.
Edmonton - Jasper is 3 1/2 hours due west of Edmonton along the twinned Yellowhead Highway (Hwy 16).
Calgary - Jasper is 4 1/2 hours northwest of Calgary. Connecting Calgary to Jasper is the world-famous Icefields Parkway, which connects Banff and Jasper National Parks. Widely acclaimed as "the most beautiful road in North America", the Icefields Parkway is 230 kilometers (143 miles) of unspoiled UNESCO World Heritage Site scenery highlighted by endless views, abundant wildlife and vast glaciers. The road is off limits to commercial vehicles to encourage enjoyable driving and more sightseeing.
For worry free traveling, join the Christmas in November shuttle from either Edmonton or Calgary. Our comfortable motorcoach will make sure you get to The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in time for our festive Welcome Reception and includes both your National Park user fee and a snack! At a cost of $149.00 per person.
(Also for your convenience, you may take the shuttle one way at a cost of $75.00. Please inquire when registering).
