Four Romantic Getaways: Part 1 – Jasper
#FairmontLovesFebruary – Romantic Getaway to Jasper
Canada’s Western Mountains are home to four beautiful destinations that have everything need for a romantic getaway. Whether you’re looking to surprise that special someone for a Valentine’s Day long weekend or to celebrate your love some other time in February, we’ve put together romantic recommendations for Jasper, Whistler, Banff and Lake Louise. All you have to do is choose where you want to go!
Planning a Romantic Getaway to Jasper?
Celebrate your Valentine’s Day in Jasper National Park. We have some some suggestions that are perfect for lovers of the great outdoors—and cozy indoors too!
Stay: Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge – there is nothing more romantic than a getaway to your own private cabin in a National Park with access to the amenities of the great lodge. Book a cabin with a view of frozen Lac Beauvert to really dial up the romance.
Dine: Start your day with breakfast in your cabin and treat yourself to a mimosa (or two). After all, you both deserve it! The Lodge offers a variety of restaurants to choose from for Valentine’s Day dining. Keep things curious and playful with divine cocktails and delicious shareables at the Great Hall Gastropub. Or play up the amore with a table for two at Orso Trattoria.
Explore: When you’re ready adventure, head over to the winter activity centre (located at the golf club) where you can rent a variety of winter equipment. For an authentic and romantic excursion, we recommend strapping on a pair of snowshoes. Explore the property’s many woodland trails and trace the edges of Lac Beauvert, Lake Mildred and Tree Foil. Interested in venturing further afield? Book an excursion to Medicine Lake to learn about this mysterious disappearing lake.
(Perhaps leave Lake Mildred to the end so you can stop and enjoy the outdoor fire pit first!)
Relax: Speaking of fire pits, how about a Jasper Park Lodge Fireplace Crawl? There’s no doubt, Jasper has many amazing fireplaces to enjoy, but why leave the grounds when there are plenty at the Lodge itself? Whether it’s après-snow or after dinner, it’s hard to beat the grand fireplace in the Emerald Lounge. And if you didn’t stop at the Lake Mildred fire pit during your day’s adventures, head over for a romantic evening skate and warm up afterward. Even better, book a suite or cabin with a fireplace and cozy up in the privacy of your own room.
Our final recommendation for the ultimate romantic getaway to Jasper, whether for Valentine’s Day or any other romantic escape…why not put a ring on it? Few things are more romantic than eloping in the Canadian Rockies.
