Jasper SkyTram
Canada's longest and highest aerial tramway. In seven minutes it climbs Whistlers Mountain to 2,263 meters, with views over Jasper town and six mountain ranges.
The SkyTram departs from a base station about 7 km south of town and rises in about seven minutes to the upper station on Whistlers Mountain, at an elevation of about 2,263 meters. From the observation deck you can see Jasper town, the Athabasca River valley, and a chain of lakes, and on clear days you may spot Mount Robson in the distance. A steep hiking trail from the upper station climbs to a summit of about 2,464 meters (round trip about 1.5 hours). Tickets start at around C$70, and the tram typically operates from April to October. Book a time slot on the official website. The summit is cold, so bring a jacket.
