Cross-Country Ski – Mary Schäffer Loop

Mary Schäffer Loop is in the Maligne Lake area, open winter or summer. The trail is not maintained in the winter, but cross country skis and snowshoes are great for this path.

If you catch the right conditions in the winter, this place is a magical wonderland to visit. Sometimes you can even get on the lake for some fresh perspective.

If the trail is too short, combine your day with some more trails in the area. Check out our other  trails in the activity section on Explore Jasper site.
