Overview
Your Connection to Maligne Lake & the Skyline Trail
Travel between Jasper and Maligne Lake with our one-way shuttle service, ideal for Skyline Trail hikers and anyone who only needs transportation in one direction. Choose your direction and departure to suit your plans, then sit back and enjoy the scenic journey along the Maligne Lake Road, with pickup and drop-off options in Jasper, at Whistlers Campground and at selected trailheads along the way.
For Skyline Trail hikers, our one-way shuttle makes it easy to arrange transportation between the North Skyline / Signal Mountain Trailhead and the South Skyline Trailhead at Maligne Lake. Leave your vehicle at the trailhead where you’ll finish your hike, then take the shuttle to your starting point so your vehicle is waiting when you complete the trail.
For those travelling without a vehicle, pickup and drop-off options in Jasper and at Whistlers Campground make it possible to connect with either end of the Skyline Trail. Stops at Watchtower and Jacques Lake Trailheads are also available for hikers exploring elsewhere in the Maligne Valley.
