Jasper SkyTram

Jasper, Canada

Experience the beauty of being gently transported into Jasper National Park's alpine tundra aboard the Jasper SkyTram. The ride will captivate people of all ages and is merely the beginning of an experience the whole family will cherish.

The Jasper SkyTram is the longest and highest guided aerial tramway in Canada and the only guided aerial rope-way in the Canadian Rockies. Providing visitors with unprecedented views of six mountain ranges, glacial fed lakes, the Athabasca river and the scenic mountain town of Jasper.

Your adventure begins at an elevation of 4,279 feet (1,304 meters) above sea level in the safety of an enclosed cabin. A fully trained and knowledgeable tour guide will accompany you during the smooth, seven-minute trip to the Upper Station located at 7,472 feet (2,277 meters) above sea level. During your ascent up Whistlers Mountain, your tour guide will inform you of the area, points of interest, animal life and history.

The high alpine is your destination, and the Upper Station offers a safe and unobstructed view that you may enjoy for as long as you have time. Stroll the boardwalks viewing the interpretive plaques and watch for wildlife. Alpine inhabitants include the hoary marmot (famous for its whistling alert call), white-tailed ptarmigan, ground squirrels, pikas and the occasional bighorn sheep. You may travel off the boardwalks and onto the hiking trails at your own risk.

High Altitude Shopping is Jasper's only high-alpine gift shop. Pick up an 'Altitude Junkie' T-shirt for yourself or a gift for friends and family.

This product is seasonal and only operates from April through to October.

Well worth doing. Scenery from the top was incredible. Saw a Mountain Goat at the top. Had lunch at the Cafe-food was good service a little lacking but it was the waitresses first day on the job.

This was a wonderful experience! The staff was helpful and competent, and did a nice job of describing the scenery as we rose to the top. Well worth the money. Stop and eat at the cafe when you're done hiking - a good meal and a killer view!

Defiantly a MUST in this trip. We went in mid October and it was full of snow, the view was Magical and you felt on the top of the world seeing the mountains tops.

Was the highlight of the trip...that last 200 meters to the summit was the stuff dreams are made of when you finally arrive at the top. Three stops for air and we were there.

We walked to the summit after getting off the tram. It is quite a walk but the views are incredible!

The organization for the tram at the base is excellent..there is overcrowding at the top when coming back down. The tram and view itself is magnificent. It is a must see in Jasper.

Do this your first day in Jasper! Even make it your first activity! On the way up, they tell you about the surrounding mountains and lakes that you are seeing. Then when you get to the top, it's a great place to take photos. And then take the the hike, to the top. Steep in some places, but you'll feel accomplished when you're at the peak. What a fun experience!

Review by:   Bernice Z,    July 2016 Review: 1 star rating: I do not recommend this
Was disappointed. Way to many people packed into the tran car. Especially when you have you young children who are shoved into the middle and all they see is everyone's butts.
 

Review by:   Prema C,    June 2016 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
One of the must do activities in Jasper. The only sour point was the ticketing desk could not issue a ticket with the electronic copy and insisted on a hard copy which we could not locate. Lost about 20 minutes arguing. The ride was good with great views of the town. On the top we got great views

Review by:   Michael B,    September 2015 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
The tram tour is excellent, but only if you take advantage of the hike to the top of Whistler's Mountain and have lunch at the café in the upper station. If you only go for the ride and the view, you might think the cost is a little high. The food in the café was excellent! The hike was a little difficult, and probably not suited for the elderly or small children baby carriages will definitely not roll on the path as at some spots was very steep. The views are amazing if you catch it on a clear day.
 

Review by:   Keith K,    September 2015 Review: 3 star rating: Worth doing
great view and walk to the summit. Do not waste your time or money purchasing the tickets before the trip as still have to queue and get the same priority as others in the queue. Also purchased the lunch meal - food was really not good and recommend only purchase the tram tickets and pay for a refreshment/snack if required
 

Review by:   Alice T,    August 2015 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
Stunning views on top of the mountain we had lunch in the restaurant and went for a walk to the top, its very cold so take a jacket don't forget the camera. We loved Jasper.

Had to wait a hour even with the voucher to go on the skytram. However, it was well worth the wait as the views are fantastic

Very popular. Had to wait over an hour but when at the top its was a great experience and great restaurant.
 

Review by:   Jules,    July 2015 Review: 4 star rating: Recommended
Enjoyed the view from the top of the skytram absolutely amazing looking at all the mountains and blue lakes. The only downside you have to pay 8 return each for the shuttle numerous hotel pickups in Jasper to get you to and from the skytram last one back to Jasper is 5.30pm, and when we visited at 3.00pm it was extremely busy so we were given a ticket number, and made to wait until our number was called to board 45 minutes therefore making it hard to walk to the summit once you get off 1 hour due to the last shuttle leaving at 5.30pm even though the skytram is open this time of year until 8.00pm. Recommend you go early in the morning at it opens when it is probably quieter and you have lots more time to enjoy your time at the top.

i FORGOT THE TICKETS THAT WERE PRINTED before we left Birmingham, it took a few minutes for them to be found on line,but were. The trip was well worth the money, but the person on the tram did not say a word to us.

My husband and I had a fabulous trip and going up the Jasper Sky Tram was one of the highlights as we could see so much of the area and the weather could not have been better.
 

Review by:   Yassin O,    June 2015 Review: 4 star rating: Recommended
All the staff were extremely helpful and very friendly. We went on a day that was wet with rain and snow, so picture taking was not to good. The restaurant was not that good, we bought the tram and breakfast deal. They really only give you one option for the meal, but the staff there did substitute our 3 meals for 2 vegetarian meals. I would say it is was over all very nice and all the staff were amazing.

yep this was good, the view was terrific, the guides at the bottom didn't understand the voucher for the restaurant until it was explained by another worker there but otherwise a terrific experience.
