Midway Between Banff & Jasper

David Thompson Resort is the perfect midpoint base for the Icefields Parkway drive. We are located 42 km east of Saskatchewan River Crossing on Highway 11. Banff to the Crossing is about 155 km (roughly 1 hr 45 min), and the Crossing to Jasper is about the same — split the drive instead of rushing it, with Abraham Lake and Nordegg on your doorstep.

Comparable Banff and Jasper rooms often cost twice as much in peak season. Our hotel rates: 2 Queens $359/$379 peak, $259/$279 shoulder; 1 King $379/$399 peak, $279/$299 shoulder; Suite $399/$419 peak, $299/$319 shoulder. See all rates.

Weddings in the Canadian Rockies

Say ‘I do’ with a mountain-view ceremony and celebrate under our Belle Dome — 2027 dates now booking, from $2,200 for the wedding weekend.
