See Jasper from 2,263 Metres Up:

Why the SkyTram is a Must-Do

March 18th 2026
A trip to Jasper National Park is all about the views. You’ll find them around every corner, from the shores of Maligne Lake to the floor of Maligne Canyon. But what if you could see it all at once? 

That’s the magic of the Jasper SkyTram. It doesn't just show you a piece of the park; it reveals the entire breathtaking landscape from a perspective you can’t get anywhere else. This isn’t just a ride—it's your ticket to the top of the Canadian Rockies. 

The Best Views in Jasper, Made Easy

The Jasper SkyTram whisks you 2,263 metres (7,425 feet) up the side of Whistlers Mountain in just seven minutes. As you glide smoothly above the sub-alpine forest, the view unfolds. The town of Jasper shrinks below, the Athabasca River snakes through the valley, and a stunning panorama of six mountain ranges comes into focus.

This is an experience for everyone:

  • For families: It’s a thrilling adventure that’s safe and accessible for all ages. Kids love the feeling of flying up a mountain, and the boardwalks at the top make exploring easy.
  • For adventurers: The summit is your gateway to the alpine. Hike the 1.4-kilometre trail to the true peak of Whistlers Mountain for an even more impressive 360-degree view.
  • For photographers: This is your chance to capture the Canadian Rockies in all their glory. From sweeping landscapes at sunrise to the soft light of late afternoon, the photo opportunities are endless.

More Than Just a Viewpoint

Stepping out of the enclosed tram car at the upper station, you’ll immediately notice the crisp alpine air. You’re in a different world up here. Interpretive displays along the boardwalks explain the unique flora and fauna of this high-altitude environment.

You can take a short, leisurely stroll or tackle the summit hike for a rewarding challenge. On a clear day, you might even spot Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, off in the distance. The experience is what you make it. Stay for 30 minutes to soak in the sights, or spend a few hours exploring the trails.

A Perfect Fit for Your Jasper Itinerary

The Jasper SkyTram is conveniently located just a 10-minute drive from the town of Jasper, making it an easy addition to any plan. You don’t need a full day to enjoy it.

Combine it with other nearby attractions for a perfect day of sightseeing. You could spend the morning exploring the town and grab lunch, then head up the SkyTram for an afternoon in the alpine. It’s a highlight that fits seamlessly into your schedule, delivering maximum impact without requiring a long detour.
