Experience Ice Climbing in Jasper

Join us for an unforgettable experience of climbing a frozen waterfall. This fun, safe, thrilling experience lets you explore places that are inaccessible to most park visitors.

This six-hour tour begins at our office in Jasper where you meet your guide and get your gear. We then travel to our climbing site: Maligne Canyon, Tangle Falls, or Edge of the World, based on the weather.

Once at the site, your guide coaches you on techniques, safety, and gear. Next? We climb!

  • All technical equipment included (boots, crampons, harnesses, axes, helmet)
  • Wear winter clothing and lots of layers (what you would wear to the ski hill)
  • Transportation is provided from town to the climbing site and back

All trips leave from the Visitor Experience Centre, located at 414 Patricia Street (parking lot adjacent to the Old Fire Hall). We ask participants to be ready to depart at the start time – we want to climb, not sit around the office!

Where will we be going?

*Winter 2024-25 Update : Maligne Canyon, one of Jasper National Park’s most iconic landmarks, will remain closed for the winter season due to safety concerns following this summer’s wildfire. This decision, based on safety assessments and input from stakeholders, reflects Parks Canada’s unwavering commitment to public and visitor safety.  

To ensure you have an amazing climbing experience, your guide will choose the best place for the day’s conditions.

Tangle Falls
Tangle Falls is most often our second choice. It’s a great place to climb and takes you into the heart of the Columbia Icefield area.

Maligne Canyon
Maligne Canyon is our go-to ice climbing area. It’s fun, safe, thrilling and allows you to explore parts of the canyon that are inaccessible to most park visitors.
