Do you dream of skiing in Canada's legendary Rocky Mountains?
Connections has put together the perfect ski trip for you. With KLM, you can fly to Edmonton, the gateway to the Rocky Mountains, in 8.5 hours. A shuttle will take you to downtown Jasper. This charming Canadian village will be your home base for the week ahead. The ski shuttle will take you to the Marmot Basin ski station in 20 minutes, where you can enjoy 100 kilometers of slopes and dozens of off-piste runs on the beautiful, dry powder snow of the Rocky Mountains.
Do you prefer to drive yourself? For an additional fee you can pick up your rental car at the airport and after a 4-hour drive you will be in cozy Jasper.
In the evening you can relax in the wellness facilities of your hotel and then go out in Jasper. Taste Canadian cuisine and enjoy the local beers for a great après-ski experience! Want to try something different? Go on an adventure with sled dogs, hike through the frozen Maligne Canyon or go ice climbing!
All this and more is possible from €1579 per person, including flights (1 piece of luggage + ski equipment bag), a shared shuttle transfer return or a week's rental car, 7 nights hotel (1 night in Edmonton and 6 nights in Jasper) and a 5-day ski pass! What are you waiting for?
