Put yourself in the picture of these 10 luring winter attractions:

1. Spot Jasper's furry friends and learn about the complex and integral biology of the national park with these guided wildlife tours. Although a wildlife sighting isn't guaranteed, the knowledgeable guides know the best times and places that local moose, sheep, elk and mountain goats like to frequent.

2. A must do activity in winter is the Maligne Canyon ice walk. In the summer, this deep canyon is filled with rushing water. But in the winter, it all freezes and what you're left with is a series of frozen waterfalls and icicles lining the canyon walls.

3. Enjoy uncrowded slopes at Ski Marmot Basin and get panoramic views of this snow-covered UNESCO World Heritage Site in the winter. Beloved by locals and heralded by skiers and snowboarders from around the world for its great snow, lack of lift lines and affordability this is one experience that any skier of any age can enjoy.

4. Jasper has the world's largest accessible dark sky preserve, explore the local constellations in comfort through the Jasper Planetarium heated 50-seat dome theatre on the ground of the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge.

5. Rejuvenate overlooking the frozen lake of Lac Beauvert at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge

6. No visit to Jasper is complete without a meal at one of the top notch local eateries and the best way to explore them is on a Jasper Food Tour, sampling local fares downtown.

7. Matched teams of horses, tuned bells, sleighs with comfortable seats and warm throw blankets make for a classic winter experience. Join for a 40 minute sleigh along the sunny shore of Pyramid Lake with Jasper Riding Stables.

8. Try one of Canada's oldest transportation methods while seeing the sparkling and varied backcountry just outside of Jasper National Park at Cold Fire Creek Dogsledding.

9. Include Via Rail's Snowtrain as part of your Jasper adventure. This overnight train departs Vancouver, offers sleeper cabins and sees guests wake up in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. The train is called The Canadian and it can be taken in reverse from Jasper back to Vancouver.
