Gaze across the Athabasca River and envision 50 years of fur trading history located at the junction of towering mountain ranges and mountain passes. For almost half a century Jasper House was the main stopping place for fur traders using the Athabasca, and Yellowhead passes, and an important meeting place for adventurers, voyageurs, artists and missionaries. A short, beautiful walk leads you to the Jasper House viewpoint.

Pendant près d’un demi-siècle, Jasper House a été le principal relais des commerçants de fourrures en route vers les cols Athabasca et Yellowhead. Aventuriers, voyageurs, artistes et missionnaires s’y rencontraient. Empruntez le sentier pittoresque qui mène jusqu’à un poste d’observation. Admirez le paysage de la rivière Athabasca et imaginez 50 ans de traite des fourrures, en plein cœur de massifs montagneux et de cols de montagne imposants.
