Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge Debuts Indigenous-Led Foraging and Culinary Experience
Guests can book a full-day experience combining a helicopter tour, guided foraging and a chef-prepared dinner.
Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is adding a new, hands-on culinary experience to its summer lineup with the launch of its Foraging Flight: An Indigenous-Led Helicopter & Culinary Journey.
The full-day adventure begins with a helicopter departure from the resort, giving guests a wide-angle view of Jasper National Park’s mountains, lakes, and forested valleys before touching down in a remote backcountry setting.
Led by Indigenous Knowledge Keeper Lauren Moberly, the experience moves from sightseeing to participation. Guests are introduced to seasonal wild botanicals and take part in guided foraging, learning what grows in the region and how it’s traditionally used.
A wilderness picnic offers time to relax and take in the surroundings before returning to the lodge.
Back on property, the experience wraps up with a private, multi-course dinner prepared by the resort’s culinary team. The menu incorporates ingredients gathered earlier in the day, bringing a direct connection between the landscape and what’s served on the plate.
Designed as a small-group experience, the Foraging Flight combines aerial access, guided exploration, and a curated dining component, offering guests a different way to experience Jasper beyond the usual viewpoints.
