REVIEWS OF Jasper SkyTram IN Jasper

Brianna Koenig

The Sky Tram is definitely not even close to as scary as I thought it would be. Very smooth, beautiful ride.

Bob Burke

Unfortunately the haze was bad and anything to the west was pretty much obscure. Staff friendly, nice little spot for a drink and snack. Have been here before and the views are usually great.

Maisha Khan

Beautiful! Love that you can walk right on to the mountain...

Angelo Garcia

Well the sky tram is a very smooth ride now that the capacity is half because of covid, however once things are normal the gondola will be overloaded with more passengers turning the ride into a sardine can,but don't let that discourage you from enjoying the amazing views and the opportunity to conquer Whistlers peak! Caution is necessary once you decide to embark on this adventure, wear suitable clothes and footwear! Bring snacks and water,also a good camera to take picture of all the Canadian Rocky Mountains that surround the area with a very perfect view of Jasper and surrounding Lakes, make sure you stop at the restaurant for a coffee and enjoy a beautiful view.

The best spot in Canda ever

Tyler Nicholls

Skytram has some great staff that know what their doing. Friendly and affordable experience, if you are not afraid of heights. Superb hike atop the popular Whistlers mountain

Jasper Guy

Such an easy way to get to the alpine for spectacular views of Jasper. Their operating hours are great, not much thing to do in autumn and this is a goto place.

Pratyay B

Amazing experience. Had been to so many gondolas but this was one was something special. There are some breathtaking views from the Whistler’s summit which needs a short hike of 2.8 kms. Definitely worth it for the price. I would recommend going for early morning or during sunset for even better views.

Katy Duq

Absolutely amazing experience. All staff were very friendly. The ride up was very smooth and breath taking. Unlimited time to roam around up the mountain. It's an incredible experience to be above the clouds.

Weldon Miller

Loved it, we had to wait til clouds cleared. But was worth the wait !!

Caroline Tutakiewicz

Professional and fun staff and the most amazing views around. Dress warm as it gets very windy!

Hamad Siddiqui

This was a dad and daughter trip up the mountain and we absolutely loved it! Because of the time of year, we were the only ones in the tram with Devin (our guide) who gave us some great info about the surrounding areas on the ride up. We couldn't peak because of incorrect shoes but spent a good hour+ on the trails. The clouds moved in by the time we were heading back and it was awesome seeing the trams disappearing into the them from the top.

TheDutchCanuck

We had a fantastic time at the Jasper SkyTram! The views are astonishing and I love the amount of history this small day trip can pump out. The staff were all personable, knowledgeable, and looked like they enjoyed working there. On the ride up to the top of the mountain, our guide pointed out the several peaks, lakes, and other areas of interest with ease and enthusiasm. The gift shop at the top of the mountain is probably the most reasonably priced in Jasper (although you have to pay for a lift ticket, of course). We didn't have an opportunity to dine here but the views were all we needed. Lastly, I'd like to commend our guide on our way down, Tayah, for being so kind and easy to talk to! If you haven't yet, take the ten(ish) minute drive from downtown and enjoy this excursion!

Jonathan David's Painting

We had a fun time regardless of the rain, the attendants made it fun and were very knowledgable. It was a beautiful view from up top. We even got a little snow up top. Its much older and smaller then the banff gondolas but I loved the old school Swiss feeling of this Sky tram and the oldschool building up top.

Helen West

Great day out. Walked up to the station from Jasper. It took about 1 1/2 hours. Stunning views along the way with the river & surrounding area.

Reza Alavi

Beautiful, in September cold up here

Cc Xu

Good excursions to view all of Jasper from up top. Note: always book in advance to secure your spot.

Tomas Urlich

Very friendly and informative staff. The view was surreal, and the hike to the summit was easily the best activity I have done in the Canadian Rockies

Paul

Amazing must do activity. I thought it would be disappointing but I loved the view and hike at the top

Aron Reid

The Jasper SkyTram was overall a good experience. The restaurant at the top is nice and the views are wonderful. The execution however can use a little help. We ordered our tickets online and the charge was posted to my Visa however they had no account of our tickets and we had to pay again. They are going to reverse the charges if they did actually get paid by Visa so I'm looking forward to that. That issue aside (things happen) they pack the trams TIGHT, it's only a 7 min ride but expect to be packed in going up and down. That said once you reach the top there isn't too much to do. During the cooler months its likely hard to climb to the summit and you would need snowshoes. During the summer you can walk around a lot more but expect a small gift shop and a small restaurant at the top. Now the views are great but in my opinion it's not quite woth $50 however the view is great and there are washroom facilities at the top and bottom.

Ahsan AnwarKRL

Spectacular panoramic view at the top of Whistlers summit! A short hike from the top station to the summit. CAD 52 per person for the tram. Well worth the money, view is far better than banff gondola.

Prakasit Poonapirat

So fun to go up there and walk to those summit. Prepare for cold and gut wind. August is 4 degree with a bit of wind.

Roger Grossi

Great views. Worth the visit

Avery Whitton

Amazing staff amazing view and a very good place for photographers to get inspiration

Erwin Bulaclac

Great and enjoyable ride up the mountain. We met people also from Ontario, from Wasaga area on the way down. Had a guide telling us the history and area. We really enjoyed it. My brother's family from Toronto really loved it.

Dr. Rushik Dhaduk

Due to poor weather, I requested to cancel my booking and the lady (Celina) could have explained me the cancellation policy in a professional way. I was treated in a way that made me feel like I should never visit skytram again. I visit skytram frequently and many times , they cancelled my booking due to poor weather in a very short time. I understand if she couldn’t do it or didn’t want to do it but the rude behaviour is not acceptable to me. Sometimes, one person make whole organization look poor. However; rest of the crew members were too friendly and polite.

Kacper Prymicz

The price was a little high. But the ride was great! they have wonderful employs. The view on the top is great

Ken Varias

Been here in Canada for 9 years and I can't believe I just got on top of Jasper Tramway this Year, (pandemic era)! Bought a few souvenirs and walk halfway of the Peak. Place is amazing, fantastic!

Bill Bender

Well worth the time and money, our tickets included breakfast in the restaurant on top and better than an absolutely clear day, we got to see clear skies, thunderstorms, amazing cloud motions and a rainbow. We did not take the hike to the top but I will definitely do that on the next trip up. Get your reservation online to save time and don't forget to sign up for breakfast. One note, they run a scheduled service but weather can have a huge impact. We came down off the mountain and as we stepped off the tram, the service was suspended due to high winds. Not sure how long the delay was but I guess that points to the fact that you should definitely plan enough time for your adventure

Jarrod Ritter

Was a great experience for me and my girlfriend. Would recommend wearing took as wind was tough on top of mountain

Michael Kusmierz

Great way to see a very tall peak in only a couple min ascent. It’s a little pricey, but doable and worth it. Views from the top are stunning, despite us being thee during wildfire season. You can look over the town of Jasper, the Athabasca River Valley, and plenty of other peaks. Don’t hesitate to make the hike to the actual peak! Amazing.

Steven Wollman

You feel like you're on top of the world. I was only up here for about 30 minutes, but you can hike pretty far, and spend hours up here. Tram leaves every 9 minutes. Dress warm, it's usually several degrees colder up here

Andrew Laurens

Beautiful views and excellent staff!!

Randy Vermeer

Nice easy way up.the mountain. Get there before 10 for the early bird rate. Do yourself a favor and make the effort to summit the mountain if it's a clear day. Well worth it.

Neal Cleaves

Lots of fun for the whole family. Dress warm if you plan to hike to the summit. The staff here are very friendly and helpful!

William Holmes

Four stars for the view. (We were lucky and it was a clear day)

klassenp1

Hadn't been here in 20 years. Still amazing!

Jay McLachlan

You will never regret braving the ascent. The memories of those magnificent alpine vistas will last a lifetime!

Stephanie Manteufel

If you're claustrophobic this isn't for you. With covid restrictions they herd you into the tram like farm animals and then separate you with plexiglass dividers. You get to ride in your own stall all the way to the top like real sheep. Thanks, Jason Kenny. #openforsummer

Alice AbiRaad

It’s a great experience to take the tram up the mountain. But be careful the trail are very stiff demanding, hard to do, change of weather suddenly from down to top, and from the top to the whistler summit. So wear warm clothes for winter time. Lot of winds and its cold. But its worth the walk the view is breathtaking.

Bhavik Dhaduk

The best ever SkyTram we experienced. Plan your day considering an hour hike up there. Advisable to book your return trip up there in advance to avoid waiting when you are ready to ride back.

Lost

Absolutely breathtaking. The staff was very friendly

george L

Amazing experience

Hugo Lopez

Exceptional staff, great views of Jasper and the surroundings, nice trail at the top, excellent coffee.

Raiyan Q

Amazing views and really nice hike at the top. There's even a Starbucks at the tip. Keep in mind it can get cold up there.

Selvynna Tang

The jasper skytram was the highlight of our trip. It provides unmatched views and experience for lazy hikers such as myself. Plus they are pet friendly and accomodated my cat without any questions. There are a few negative reviews about the logistics of booking the return flight. I can see how that would be the case because we also missed our return time slot. We went on a less busy day so we were able to get on the next one, in about 10 mins. I can see that on busy days you might have to wait for longer. It's expected since everyone is lining up to return too. Also yes, the trams were very packed with no distancing. They do this to move more people around. If you picked a less busy day you would have less people on each tram! Edit - our guide told us it would take 35mins up and 30 mins down. It took us about 2h05 to return from the hike and missed our return time set for 2h. We are particularly slow hikers.

K Perez

This is a must do..if your ever in Jasper, do not miss the opportunity to take a trip up with your family and go for a hike up the mountain trails.. unfortunately for us, my husband did not wanna bring our 1 & 2 yr old up the mountain hike once up top as we have hyper little fellers.. it can be dangerous high more suitable for kids 5 yrs and up. Bring a jacket, maybe some light gloves, hat even in the summer as the peaks can get a bit chilly up so high. The view from the Top overlooking the little town of Jasper was amazing!

Erin Stacey

Very good hike. Nice informative staff.

Kamaljeet

Really awesome experience. You can book your ticket online. Lovely view upthere. Bring your jacket's it was windy and cold.

Adriane Jimenez

Best way to get views of Jasper and the surrounding mountains. Quick 8 minute ride but worth the money. If you plan to do the summit hike, I recommend microspikes if you want to make it to the top. Amazing views!

Adib Kaddoura

What a great experience. Make sure you book early. Close to the town of jasper. The views at the top are amazing. Make sure you are well dressed even in the summer. Staff are friendly

Xia Bunao

Amazing experience! After the tram, we hiked for about 2hrs going up at the peak.

Harrison Linden

What an amazing experience! I've been to Jasper many times but I've never seen it like this before (from above!). Amazing views and you can hike further up if you want to. There is a gift shop and cafe at the top to enjoy. I loved seeing all the hotspots from this perspective and got to reminisce about my other Jasper adventures.

Craig Husband

Fantastic! Had trouble with Tiques sending me tickets for the wrong day. Was able to fix the issue at Sky Tram and joy was restored to the world :) Staff is amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend.

Gaurav Dhadwal

One of a unique experience of a SKY TRAM not a Gondola. Must visit. Good Hike at the upper Station.

Alexi Husky

Amazing time up there. Somewhat basic in it's experience, you will be carried to the top to engage in a nice rocky mud/snow hike. Bring a jacket obviously :)

Patrick Flanagan

I went in the off season. End of Nov. Beginning of Dec. I could only go to the base of the Sky Tram without riding up. The view was still spectacular. Sky Tram opens in March and runs through October.

K_ S

A perfect spot for peace and fresh air. The view at the top of the mountain was very mesmerizing.

Dipan Das

One of the best attractions of Jasper. Doesn't matter what time of the year, this SkyTram will never cease to astonish you. It will take you to the Whistler mountain top for a grand view of the Jasper National Park and a birds eye view of the Jasper town. If you manage to reach the top after sunset then you'll be welcomed by the famous dark sky of Jasper. The number if stars visible is absolutely stunning. You can spend hours looking at the dazzling night sky.

Ashley Liu

We had initially purchased tickets online but when we showed up, we were told that due to the high winds, they weren’t operating and we had the option of waiting or rescheduling. We chose to reschedule and were able to return the next day. Jasper Sky Tram was super easy to deal with when we arrived 2 hours before our scheduled flight as well. They got us on the next available flight, which was in about 15 minutes.

Delson Dave Villamor

Amazing scenery! Fun and friendly staff. Great experience. Recommend to anyone visitng Alberta!

Justine Mae

This place has some beautiful views and a cute little Starbucks Cafe at the top! There's a small hike that brings you further up the peak and it's so worth it! ???????? going there early in the morning is probably the best time since you're able to see the sun come up. Would recommend coming coming visit here, you won't be disappointed!

Daria Berestova

I and my family came to visit Jasper SkyTram at 9 :30 am. But we was kicked out, because all tickets were sold out. So many people was in same situation, who came and couldn't buy tickets, even online. I recommend to buy tickets online in advance.

Insane King

Loved this soooo much!! Wear good shoes...big hike.

Ruiyao Huang

Short ride to the top. Just make sure to wear warmer clothes/hat/gloves and good shoes if you want to hike more to the top.

Kimberly Brown

Just beautiful. It is definitely worth the price. Amazing views! This is something everyone should do.

Norbert Wangsa-Wirawan

Fast and easy way to get to high up to see scenic view of Jasper and surrounding mountains. Hiking further to Whistlers summit to see 360 degree view of the area - well worth the hike.

Tahir Mahmood

It was a good experience. Nice place to visit and explore.

Ryan Welham

Pretty cool experience, the hike up to the summit is all loose rock though. Summit views is pretty great. Tram is fun to ride as well. Nice little bistro at the top of the tram too.

Darwin Gould

Need to buy tickets at least 24 hrs in advance. Similar view at botton of tram. Save 54$ each

Ray Cruz

Breathtaking views! A must when you visit Jasper

Erwin Dela cruz

Great place to see jasper on top

Lisa Kercher

The easiest ways to access some spectacular views of Jasper. You can see the townsite, two of the major campgrounds, Pyramid Lake, JPL and the nearby lakes, both Athabasca and Miette rivers, and many mountain ranges. The cost is high, but if it's within your budget I highly recommend going. Give yourself a few hours if you want to hike up from the upper tea house. And make sure to grab some food while you're up there. Bring warm clothes!

Honza Jadrný (Honza, co zmizel do světa)

My experience from here isn't just as turist but also as worker. I totally love this place. The view is fabulous. Everyday is different, colors, cloud,... Must go place

Kess

Must-do activity in Jasper. Hiking after the tram ride optional, but highly recommended. Make sure to dress appropriately as the weather can change quickly.

Piranavan Vivekanandan

The gondola is a good experience, and the surrounding views of Jasper and the mountains around from the top of the skytram is wonderful. And when you get up to the summit, after a moderately challenging 45 min hike, the view is spectacular, especially of the mountain ranges all around.

M T

This sky tram took us to the highest point in jasper national park. It was a little scary, especially for people don't like high place. But when you get to the top, you will never regret it. Grom the top, we can see the entire jasper national park, or play or walk on the glacier. Highly recommended

Kenesha Golding

Awesome view, try & make it to the top or beyond. Best thing ever ????

Beth Brandel

Nice views but COLD wind!!!!

Dillinjer Cardnal,Winchester

Perfect for you and the family. Always wear warm clothes when you go ive been a couple times now. Still haven't learned to dress warm Lol next time I'll be more prepared

Blake Buye

Pretty cool view of the Jasper area, only hiked to the False Summit but was still awesome with great views. Was 6 degress at the top and that was pretty comfortable because the sun was shining. Would recommend buying tickets way in advance so you can pick your time you want to go, morning would be better as we went late in the afternoon around 4 o'clock and the last tram comes down at 7 so that was lots of time to hike. But there was lots of people up there so a huge bottleneck trying to get back down. Waited probably 30 minutes to get in a tram, then down 8 minutes back to base.

Margaret Benne

Great views of town of Jasper and surrounding mountains. Great way to access hiking higher up

Thai Nguyen

Nice view from top, you can see all lakes and Valleys, river.... lovely!

Roxy Urbi

Nice!beautiful! excellent view! amazing ????

MeStarz

The view up here was beautiful. We couldn’t hike as much as I wanted to since my dads knee had an injury and some parts were steep. Defiantly would come back and go further.

Mariana Marchuk

The view was really beautiful however I was underwhelmed with the structure itself when comparing to the Banff gondola which is around the same price to go up

Blanca MS

Great view from there, remember to bring a thicker coat since there’s snow even in July! Getting back down there’s a bit of a queue but not too bad, 25min aprox.

Ashley Mauerhofer

Definitely worth it! The view is breathtaking ???? a bit pricey though! I wish it could have been a bit cheaper, especially travellers who are on a tight budget. $50 is a lot to put out.

Ilona Chodnicka

Spectacular views. The "Seven minutes to heaven with Devin" trip up is equally informative and entertaining. You have Starbucks at the very top of the mountain if you absolutely and definitely HAVE to have a $12 cookie & coffee combo. There is even a rotund chipmunk there to entertain you. DO buy tickets in advance because they run out quickly - forget about just walking up and buying them at the station. They do require printed tickets, but will print them for you if you bought them on mobile phone and can't print them yourself - the system will only email you receipt, not tickets, and the link to "Print/view tickets" does not work on mobile phone. You need to reserve in advance your trip down or you'll be waiting until they have space available. If you miss the last tram down, they will eventually get you but it will run you $200+ As a side comment, $54 pp to go up a mountain is too much, around $30 would be much more reasonable. Parking is free.

John G Lagrada

Love it..

xX WøłfįēXx

Friendly stuff. Interesting walk to the top.

Alireza Jalaeian

You need to try it! It's so cool when you're at the top and can see all the mountains!

Jan Singh

One of my favourite experiences in Jasper! The staff were friendly, the mountains well maintained and the sights amazing! The hikes up to the top are hard, but worth it. I recommend it to all.

Who's The Kitchen Fairy

Scary for a first timer but my gosh what an experience. Beautiful view all the way up to the top and on the top. Fog came when we were on the top and it felt as if The Night King was coming ???? Definitely recommend ???? You can explore around but must always pay attention to weather, avalanche, etc.

Laura C

It was a great experience, if you can attempt to do the hike it’s worth doing. But I would suggest giving yourself as much time as possible if you’re not used to high altitude and incline. We opted to have our down time nearly 3 hours later and I’m glad we did cause we did take longer than 45 minutes to go up. Also stopped half way up the hike to have a snack and lots of time to take pictures when arrived at the summit. Coming down isn’t nearly as bad though, but still requires being careful not to slide down the rocks.

sean tseng

An amazing view of the Rocky Mountains and Jasper. The only bad thing about this tramway is that there's a long wait time, especially at the top. I waited for an hour to go down. And this is during a pandemic!

AbdoulKarim Diakite

Amazing view, adrenaline rush experience. It is worth every single penny. No need to be scared, it is just like a big cabine going up and you are not alone (which helps with the anxiety). It can take up to 25 people apparently. From the top you can decide to hike the top of the mountain. Please bring warm close it is colder up there

Jessica Iwaskow

Fantastic but scary experience if your afraid of heights like me. Beautiful view.

Beata Czartoryski

If you can only stop in one place to view and photograph, this is the place. Dress warm and enjoy. I could have stayed there all day.

Nicole Mahony

Service was fast, guides were super informative! We went up on a cloudy day and unfortunately didn't get the greatest view but obviously that's something that the venue cannot control. You absolutely need to take the SkyTram if you're visiting Jasper!

Jeevan Yerraji

Decently priced, still need to hike 1.5km for indian ridge. Better to reserve online.

Sagidec Ursidae

Paid a pretty penny to shave off a lot of the hike up to Whistlers peak ????

Ashley Lubold

So worth the price and experience! The panorama view at the top is amazing. I would recommend booking online before hand and either getting the free breakfast or dinner w your ticket. The burrito was amazing! There is a hike up top if you are interested-easy hike but very steep incline!

Steve Murphy

Fantastic excursion about 15 minutes from Jasper. The tram itself is fun, but the best part is doing the hiking paths from the top of the tram line. There are enough lower viewpoint trails for the walking impaired to enjoy, while the more adventurous can continue up the moderately steep slope to the summit (20min or so) and then on across the ridge top (another 20min or so). There are a few small side loops to additional vantage points along the way. One can also climb one way, up or down the whole mountain and tram the other way. Saw wild mountain goats and marmots and a pica. Little to no chance of bears since tram top is above tree line, but definitely bring spray if doing the mountain path.

RP

Must visit once, great views from the top of the mountain. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

Keaton Ambridge

Excellent service and an essential way to get amazing views from the top of the Whistlers Mountains. The employees there were amazing and their covid precautions were great. I'd say if you buy a ticket for the SkyTram definitely do the summit hike, there's a few sketchy sections and even in June a bit of snow to wade through but the views are unbelievable. I hope you get a nice cloudless day to see all of the valleys and mountains around you, plan your trip around the weather if you can.

Vicky LB

Breathtaking 360 views from the top of the Skytram, this experience is a must!

Gurkirpal “Gurk” Dhanoa

Make sure to book in advance online. And try to be there as early as possible to enjoy the full hike. One of those things that you have to experience for yourself. Seeing pictures of others is great but see it with you own eyes.

Nicole White

Always a pleasant experience. So nice to be "on top of the world" and look down on the miniature buildings and lakes below. Our day was quite overcast the best view is when it's bright and sunny.

Geree Gabrielle

Wow why did I wait this long for a trip on the tram. Beautiful views friendly informative staff. I personally think nicer than Banff.

ananth babladi

It is an awesome experience riding the SkyTram. Within 10 minutes, you are on Whistler mountain. The best part of being on top is for those who want to hike. Add another hour and you are on top of a taller mountain and you dont have anything else obstructing your views. On a clear night, you will see mount robson, tallest mountain in Canadian rockies.

Vidhi Pitroda

Jasper SkyTram was beyond our expectations since there was a High elevation Hiking Trail of about 5 Kms in a loop once the SkyTram takes you up at starting point of the trail. It was really worth taking it once you are at Whistler Summit point as you get to see 360 degree view of Canadian Rockies. Just amazing views! It’s a must got place, cannot miss it.

Yuchong Li

Came here at the end of August. Very windy on top of the mountain. The view is magnificent and stunning.

Jessica Schule

During the Public Health Emergency that the Government of Alberta has placed, starting Sept 16th, the team at Jasper SkyTram were able to accommodate us and relocate tickets to ensure everyone's safety (staff and public). Our trip went from early morning to mid afternoon, and we still enjoyed our visit overall. Our toddler made our visit shorter than expected, as others attempted to climb to the summit (45 min one way). Plan for at least 1.5 hrs to enjoy the beautiful scenery, take photos, and enjoy the restaurant upstairs (away from the wind).

Marc Berube

What a great experience! There was a lot of smoke and the visibility was mediocre, but the climb itself was awesome. The staff is knowledgeable and very friendship, specially Nemo (Owen). I strongly recommend it.

Ursula

The staff was fantastic. Kind, knowledgeable, and very professional.

Jordon de Hoog

Excellent experience, take the sky tram, hike to the summit and crack a beer!

Shilpa

Visited in the first week of September. Beautiful views of the mountains. It's definitely a must visit on a trip to Banff/Jasper. Very organized and friendly staff. If visiting in peak season, it is recommended to book in advance because if you book at the counter, you may get a slot at the skytrain after 1-2 hours of waiting. There are washrooms at the base and plenty of parking spots. The gift gallery is nice too and not too expensive.

Maghfoor Ch

Amazing experience

Matthew Henry

The tram was great. The gift shop items weren’t that great and the bathrooms need a reno. Staff was super friendly

Harminder Kang

Amazing views, totally worth the ride. Was able to hike to Whistler Mountain after taking the SkyTram. There's still a bit of snow up there, but it's doable with the right gear (snow boots or crampons).

glen wallace

It was ok. Friendly staff, very nice. A bit pricy but an amazing view. Did I mention the staff was very nice, lots of Aussies.

Ana Vafadar

Funny thing, we got trapped in a windy/snowy situation that keeps us extra 4 hours up the Whistlers mountain, as the Sky Tram had to be shut down for safety reasons. Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY! The views up there are fantastic and the staff team absolutely great!. They made sure to keep everyone toasty, fed and entertained. At no time there was anxious feelings, because they remained calm and giving updates. Even when windy in the tram, we did not feel like rocking as you feel in other gondolas. We have to go back to try to summit the mountain, as we had to turn around when the wind picked up.

Robert Dickson

The tram ride was pretty cool, being on top of the mountain was cool too. It was a little pricey, and if it wasn't so smoky, it would have been worth the price. I might wait until next year and try again.

Adam M.A

An amazing place to visit. I was scared at the beginning of the ride, and later on the trip up got interesting then I enjoyed the view and it overcome my fear. It’s a trip you will not regret.

Chandra Giroux

Quick to get up (7min ride) with great views of Jasper along the way. Try to go on a day when it is not cloudy, so that you can do the walk to the summit and really take in the views. Expensive.

Jaspreet Saini

The Jasper SkyTram was overall an amazing experience. The views are wonderful to watch. Once you reach at the top, you feel like you are at heaven as there is all snow all around. We had great fun strolling in the snow at the top - with the warm heat of the sun & snow showers & fog - all together in every fraction of time we spent.❤️

Griffin

Great view

Danny

A bit pricey but when you get up there you suddently don't mind the price at all! When you get up before 10am you are above the clouds!

Umair Hussain

Amazing experience. I would recommend to take the dinner+ presentation + telescopic tour if you are not interested in hiking. It would be really cool.

Vivek Patel

We were literally up in the clouds and it was an amazing experience! I am definitely coming back here in the summer

Rob MacDonald

Incredible view, cars are now less crowded because of Covid-19. Informative and entertaining car guides. And I saw a Marmot!

Mat Knopp

Cool thing to do of you have never been to the top of a mountain before.

CodeBlue FPV

Spectacular view of jasper and surrounding mountains

Becky H

A fantastic way to see the surrounding Jasper area! The boardwalk and immediately surrounding area provides great views if you don't feel like venturing further. If you have a little more energy, climbing the first peak adds more to the experience, but be aware it is a fairly steep climb. The staff running the trams were very friendly and professional. I really appreciated the masking requirements in the shared public areas. ????

cat parr

a beautiful place to visit while in jasper. The hike to the summit is not too far only 45 min from the sky tram. I advise you to wear proper shoes(boots with ice grippers). Coming down is very slippery

John Bennink

During our 2 day visit to Jasper this was the high light. The tram is an antique from the past and the door way to the spectacular views, of the Jasper area. Thanksgiving is late in the season but dress for the weather and take your time. Take the tram up , allow a couple hours to hike to the top and take in the natural splendor of the area.

Joshua¡

By far best activity in Jasper. Just bundle up it's cold up there! We went August 25, 2020.

Mike Allen

This is tram is the fastest way up the mountain. The views were spectacular from the tram and at the station. Upon hitting the trails you realize you have climbed in altitude. The eagle eye views of the valleys below and the snow covered mountain peaks in the distance is what made the it more enjoyable for a coastal beach traveler like me to enjoy.

Tharaneesan Nadarajah

We went up for the night star session and it was amazing! They do a great job setting up different exhibits with experienced staff that do a great job of explaining the different constellations and stars. We even got to see a glimpse of the northern lights! Well worth the time and money!

Terry Gent

Great view! Basic amenities, but will meet your needs.

Simona Voinic

Highly recommend. Second time here and it never disappoints. Best place to see all the snowy peaks in the area. Great hike to the summit.

Jamie Korby

Amazing views!... Lovely gift shops at both the top and bottom of the skytram. There is a hike you can do at the top but bring a sweater -its cold up there! Only thing I would do different is maybe have a staff member outside when you get to the top to guide you around a bit. Maybe even a guided hike up the mountain as its somewhat unclear where exactly you can go. Also, the cost of admission as well as at the cafe at the top of the gondola were quite pricey!!

Josen Media

Everyone must come the Jasper skytram, especially the sunset run! It was my first mountain top sunset experience, that was sooooo awesr!

Sanne G

Amazing view. Make sure to make time for a hike up to the peaks.

Seren Christ

Only ten minutes away from Jasper, super nice staff, and of course amazing views on top. Once you're at the upper station you can take a 1.5 km hike to the summit.

Andrew Daley

Cool experience. To get the most of it , you need to hike to the peak which doesn't take that long after you get off the Skytram. Worth it for the extra views.

Julie Joseph

An awesome experience. Friendly staff and a gorgeous setting. There is a trail at the top to the summit of the mountain.

Robert Chisholm

Jasper Skytram is worth the visit and the money. From the top, you can hike to Whistler summit and the views are amazing. Dress for the occasion because it is snowy up there. About of foot of snow when I went in early October. Try to pick a clear day and you’ll get a great view. Also there is a restaurant at the top of the tram where you can have a drink and relax after the hike. Hike is about an hour up and 30mins to get down. Abit challenging but more than doable for just about anyone. Must do while in Jasper.

Kevin Lancashire

Worthwhile a visit with your family. Prefer charisma of Swiss mountains more; but still interesting. Make sure to choose a day with clear sight.

Bill Eakin

The climb to the summit is challenging, but definitely worth it (the walk back down is much easier). Views from the tram are beautiful.

Prageeth Mendis

An absolute “must do” just make sure you check their webcam before you go but certainly worth the money !

ALAN DAVID

Completely worth it! View of Jasper town and surrounding mountains are amazing

John Coleman

Awesome ride

Chris Crowe

The hike up to the peak was hard, but the view was spectacular. I would love to make the journey again!

Amarjot Singh

Waiting time is alot. Make sure you do booking online and than come. Hike is beautiful. Can see all the city. Hike gear should be with you. Cold at the top. Windy.

Tyler Hjorthoy

I would highly recommend this, unbelievable views and you can hike all over it. Just incredible.

EV

Got a free ticket on my birthday... Nice and many thanks!

Khristel Stecher

Absolutely love this!!!! Was one of the smallest gondolas I have been on and they still fit you in but theres a plastic separator on the gondola. So its actually nice. We also got a window because theres less people on the gondola. ???? The hike up to Whislers Summit was totally worth it. It was the highlight of our trip to Jasper.

Brian Coville

fun time not too buy when up there in may at that time the retaurant was closed coffee shop on the main floor was open and they had partitons in cars.

Rosalind Gardner

I've been up to the top of Whistlers via the Jasper SkyTram many times over the past 30+ years. The last time was in late September 2020, and I appreciate the efforts made to take care of their passengers during COVID. On a clear day, the view from atop Whistlers is amazing, seeing Robson's peak shine in the sun and see all that is going on in Jasper and the surrounding area down below. The little restaurant at the tram terminal is a good place to grab a bit with a great view, and hiking to both the false and real summits is highly recommended!

Matthew Martin

Great value for money and incredible views. Book in advance not to avoid disappointment... People were being turned away due to capacity. The climb to Whistlers Peak at the top is about a 45 minute hike up steep terrain (bring hiking footwear or good grips) views at the viewing point is incredible and obviously get better the higher you go. Loved every every moment of our visit ????

Melissa Hanley

Incredible 360° views from the top! Photos don't do it justice. Well worth the effort to hike from the skytram to the summit. Take your time, but definitely give it a try. The trail is well used making snow at the top a bit compact and slick. Bring micro spikes and hiking shoes/boots in the fall for the best experience. We even had hiking poles for the walk down. Also dress in layers. It can get pretty windy and chilly - you are on a 2,463 meter tall mountain afterall. My only feedback is that they could develop the top lodge a bit more with pole and spike rentals, more indoor seating, and healthier snack options.

Parag Ghate

Amazing experience.. Highly recommended if visiting jasper ????

Erkan Karaytu

Forget all the problems of the world at this summit, concentrate only on this moment and enjoy the cold air, wind, scenery and rapid movements of the clouds…..

Susan Rennie

Not cheap but worth the experience. Our tram "driver" was really funny and knowledgeable about the area. They were very organized and we felt safe the whole time. We also hiked to the peak of Whistlers Mountain once we got to the top, which was tough (partially since it started snowing heavily) but it's really neat to see how the weather can change rapidly and randomly in minutes.

Min Ming Zhou

A blast! More wild comparing to Banff Gondola. This is the one you will pick if you have to choose only one, if you want a good hike. The route is rated as difficult in many parts but they are short. It offers fantastic view. It feels so strange standing above other mountain top. Love it! Be prepared with tools to walk on snow which you can rent in the local sports shop.

Ján Vasko

Great attraction, worth every penny :D The guide are nice, you just need to come as soon as possible to buy tickets and don't spend 2 hours waiting down in the cafe :D even there you can have a nice talk with locals about the place or your journey through Canada...depends on you :)

Jesse Booth

Hiked the whole way up but took the tram down. Was challenging but rewarding. Not a beginner hike but you can take the tram up if you want. It was very cold past the 3/4 mark and windy, so I recommend bringing pants or a good jacket and toque.

Michael W

2000m elevation difference from the bottom of the tram to the top off. Windy, mostly all up hill so had to take my time, and from buying your ticket to getting on the tram up is an 1 hour wait. We brought the tickets there and the next time slot given to us was one hour later. At the top the weather was, a bit cloudy, windy and cool. You can see Jasper on one side and the other side mountains with snow on it. The tram operator said it takes 45 minutes to walk up to the summit but it was more like an hour because of the wet trail and the thinner air up there.

YoGaBaGaBa

It's worth the trip. Don't forget to wear in layers, getting cold up in the mountain.

Maya Mitchell

It was a fun experience and there is a little hike at the top, but I probably wouldn't do it again. There are great views of the town at the top which was beautiful. Its not the first thing I would recommend to do in Jasper.

Nick Kembel

On Aug. 10 morning, we arrived more than 20 minutes early as recommended, got our printed ticket, then after standing around for 20 minutes, finally found out we were getting bumped to a later flight because people on the flight before ours missed theirs and got to take our spots, plus the ticket counter overbooked our flight. Why would you prioritize people who arrived late at the sake of those who came early? In the end, we stood waiting (with two young kids) for 45 min to board. The kids were grumpy by the time we got on and didn't enjoy it. Also, why have online bookings then people still have to wait in line to get a printed ticket? Why not scan bar codes on people's phones like everywhere else? Seems inefficient and poorly organized, and the staff were flustered dealing with all these issues. We had a far better experience at the Banff Gondola a few days later, plus you don't have to share the gondola with other people there and boarding is super fast.

Kenneth Tchir

If you are into nature and great views and some small wildlife this is a must to see. My thoughts try to pick a day that is not raining or foggy , the trails would be wet are very slippery and views would not be good. We had a great day on the mountain.

linda mays

So beautiful and we'll organized. I'm have some orthopedic issues and use canes. Staff went out of their way to help me. Views were breathtaking.

Christie C.

Although this company implemented a mandatory masking policy while inside the tram, there was absolutely no social distancing inside the trams. People were sandwiched beside each other as if there was no pandemic. Staff were nice but it didn’t seem like the company took Covid guidelines very seriously. Would not recommend if you were unvaccinated for sure. Couldn’t even see the view during the tram ride with all the people inside the tram. The tram ride was stable enough, and is the only way you can get up there.

Hanny B

My mother gifted my bf and I with a voucher from GetYourGuide, it costed $114 for the two of us and let me tell you this is definitely an experience you will not forget. I would rate Jasper SkyTram 6 stars if I could. We got into our cart not even 10 minutes after arriving. Our guide was also super friendly and outgoing which made us super comfortable. The ride is 7 minutes up with a great view and once at the top it’s breathtaking !! Pictures do not do justice. There is an option to do a hike further up, we tried but didn’t have proper attire for the snow. Definitely do the hike if you can!! Overall an experience to remember and worth every penny.

Riyaz Rajan

Awesome hiking ????‍♂️????‍♀️. Great friendly atmosphere and and a breathing View. Thank you Alberta Jasper. ????

joanne touchie

Was a marvelous time on vacation..got stuck ok top of mountain due to thunder storm was amazing and the staff very nice and accommodating and the view spectacular

Asif Akhtar

Amazing experience! The views were fabulous and the staff were super sweet and cordial. Kids loved it! The hike to the summit is amazing too. Although may get challenging if toddlers are involved. Warm clothing highly recommended. Saw many folks hiking to the summit in slippers and crocs. Please value your safety and your child's safety and wear proper footwear.

Jamie Ryan

Best service super friendly staff!

Edgardo Reyes

Amazing view at the top. There is hiking trails if you want to reach the mountain peak .

Ty Joseph

I cannot recommend this attraction enough. Jasper SkyTram is simply amazing, and awe inspiring. The views from atop the mountain are insane, the staff are always incredibly helpful and friendly, and the service is impeccable. I would highly recommend anyone passing through jasper to check it out. It’s a beautiful experience, especially during the sunrise or sunset when the sun begins to peak through the mountains, illuminating the beautiful Jasper valley below. The sights are incredible. Even if you only do it once, you should make going on the Jasper SkyTram something you must do!

ronald james jabulin

Pretty decent experience. But even with half capacity, the tram was pretty full. There was 11 of us in the tram and apparently 26 is the normal capacity.

The Hershell

Fantastic views, challenging hike to the summit, but we'll worth it.

Darlene Akplu

Breathe taking with the hike. The tram experience was definitely perfect. They are organized getting passengers on and off. Friendly service and knowledgeable

Tom Marshall

Seen on the perfect spring day. Simply stunning.

K H

Went on October 19-2019. Skytram parking lot is about 12 minutes from Jasper centre. Only 7 minutes to the top. $103 for my wife and I (with toddler). Not many people there upon arrival around 4:15pm. We figured once we got to the top there'd be more to do. The gift shop was shut down, and a few people just hanging out in the waiting area to head down. They were preparing the restaurant for the Dark Sky Festival event that night, so it was also closed. Heard that the clouds had not been co-operating and not many stars were visible after sunset. Great views from the top of the mountain. Bring extra layers of clothes as it is 5-7 degrees C colder on the mountain than in town. There's a little hike to the summit. It's icy, so wear decent gripped shoes. I believe it's less than 20 minutes to the summit. It was very windy so we didn't end up doing the summit hike. Staff were very friendly and are more than happy to answer any questions or take pictures for you. Enjoy!

Gillis Van Ginderachter

Friendly staff and great views. There's a small cafe at the top. It's nothing compares to the restaurant at the top of Banff Gondola though. You can make a steep climb to the summit of Whistlers Peak. If you're lucky you can see Mount Robson.

Robin D

Very overpriced voor what you get up top. The view is great, but thats it.

Macel A

Their management should be more specific on their website that due to covid, they only accept online bookings!!! Travellers drive to the place without knowing that they could not buy tickets and ride the tram on the same day which is the most annoying part. Also, the tram is packed with so many people so there's no way to maintain social distancing.

Kandis C

Staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. COVID precautions were taken and safety for all was ensured. Price for view and activities was good.

Ajay C

Good outing place.... wonderful majestic views of the snow covered mountains, lakes and Jasper town

Haihong Wang

The picture was taken in Aug. 2004

kai wang

The view was fantastic, ride up the mountain through the clouds were exhilarating.

Yevgeniy Yaroslavtsev

Strongly recommend!

Marwa Salman

It was an amazing experience. I needed this, thanks auntie for taking me with you. I love my province AB.

tasneem progressive

Student employee are entertaining and accurate information sharing. New exploring view from the top. Same as watching from airplane.chipmunks are friendly playing around,???? ???? not allowed ???? But tickets fare contributes to jasper heritage.

Kent

Get to feel like a mountain climber without actually climbing a mountain. There's a short hike at the peak of the mountain. Recommend to bundle up and get proper boots if you want to go farther than where the tram takes you

Tyler Neale

7 minutes in heaven with devan was by far the best part of the event. The views from the top are incredible, no where else like it.

Saima Merchant (Saima)

Once in a lifetime experience. The views from up there are spectacular!

Ryan E

Well worth the trip but make sure you do NOT buy your ticket through the BUY TICKET link on Google. It is a 3rd party provider and your ticket can't be used for 48 hrs. But it won't say that on the link till after you purchase. The sectioning in the gondola is super weird and awkward but being on the top is absolutely out of this world. 10/10 would do again especially only having to pay one time next time ????????????

Kevin Heffernan

Best view of Jasper and surroundings from above, very smooth ride up and down, good trails at the top that offer amazing sights

Scott Kerik

Staff was awesome and the views are unbeatable!

Wes Anderson

Was worth the expense for the experience and a couple of beers. Good time. Willing to do it again at night to see stars. 7800 ft at the top.

Kuna Seelan

Beautiful place and please don't miss

Chuiya Meng

Definitely worth it for the hike from the gondola. Bring warm clothes.

Chris Kanash

One of the nicest places to visit in Jasper. We booked an early lift and breakfast combo and the breakfast is free. The service at the top was a little slow and it took awhile to get the order in but it was chilly outside and we didn't mind waiting for our food. We had coffee and tea while waiting. The top is wonderful as you can go on a hike up further and the views are amazing. There was a little snow left but with all the travellers a path was quite clear. Definitely worth it.

roman szymczyszyn

Beautiful views worth the cost for a visit at least once. Been up a few times. Nice hike at the top to the top of the mountain is optional.

Dillion Clarke

Amazing time and amazing staff! The first trip up we met Toni on the sky tram and she was very knowledgeable and amazing. Interacted with everyone and was amazing. We went back and she got to witness me proposing to my fiancé. And it was amazing. All the staff are amazing there will be back.

Kira Kovi

Absolutely beautiful scenery and friendly staff. We spent an hour up top which was the perfect amount of time to get pictures, leisurely enjoy the sights and then grab a bite to eat before heading back down. The cafe left something to be desired with the quality of the food for the very exorbitant prices, but the view while eating is spectacular. I did find a hair in my drink 3/4 if the way in, which almost knocked this rating down, but I think one mistake doesn't necessarily indicate the normal quality this place brings. Would definitely return and try the hike to the summit next time!

Farsin Derakhshan

Great experience and wonderful views of Jasper and the surrounding mountains. If you climb to the “summit” (about 45 minutes up and 25 back to base), you’ll be rewarded with even more impressive views.

Jillian Cail

Service, tram ride and hike were fabulous. Thank you for a great morning. Cheers

Robyn Whitebear

Beautiful views of the mountains my daughter was abit scared but she liked it not really good for someone who is afraid of heights, I do find it abit pricey too but good experience nice to do once in awhile

Rob van Halen

The trip is definitely worth it, but pricy. Adult tickets are over $50 each. Staff is friendly and helpful. Equipment looked well maintained. Time up to the top station is about 7 minutes and the ride is very smooth. Bring proper footwear if you intend to go higher. Simple slippers won't do. We encountered passages with deep snow in May. The view from the peak is great. Can be done with small kids, but the ascent is quite steep and taxing.

Prachi Ambre

The view on the top is magnificent. The weather on the top of the mountain is colder than the base. There were very few people in this season. You can do a small trail. Make sure you are properly geared for the weather now with fluffy snow and slippery ice

Tiffany Wells

This was an amazing experience. The ride was great. They have the original carts from 50 years ago that still run perfectly. I like that they have someone riding with you that tells you about the scenery as you ride.

Yellow Thunderbird

The Skytram closes at 5pm but they won't sell you the $55 tickets at 4:45pm. They should put that on the sign at the base so you don't drive all the way up for nothing. Hopefully they can hire more staff soon so they can expand their operating hours. I'm sure it's a beautiful view though, the area is stunning. It would be awesome though if there were other viewpoints to sightsee from aside from a veranda by the women's washroom.

Darren Spyksma

This is a must-do destination for all tourists in Jasper. If you're in good shape make sure you save enough time to climb to the summit. The hike is worth it, the view is amazing.

Babar M

A must everytime I'm in Jasper. It's impossible to get tired of the views. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the area

Phil Dunt

Awesome. We’ll worth the $. Hike was beautiful

Madhav Niroula

Don’t miss out when you are in Jasper! We could not ride it because of heat wave in July of 2021- they closed it for 3 days

bob kizlyk

It is one of the best activities in Jasper. The views are awesome. On the trip up and down the operator was informative and humorous. Take proper footwear for the walk up top. It's not a place for runners without socks especially if you see that there's snow up there.

Mitchell Chestnut

Amazing experience if you are visiting the Jasper area. Great scenery when you get to the top. All the staff are great and friendly, from the ticket booth, to the lift guide, all the way to the staff at the top of the mountain. Very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions or concerns you may have. Do not forget to grab a drink from Starbucks once you get to the top of course.

Lavan Chitkara

Best ever experience!!! Not to be missed

James Know

If you are worried about COVID this is not for you. They pack up to 20 (if not more) people in the small lift. Once you are at the top the view is amazing.

Alexandra Jackson

Great quick short hike to the summit would highly recommend proper footwear/clothing & water for a more enjoyable experience and possibly packing a snack for the top. Views are spectacular for very little effort. Skytram system could have better implementation you have to buy tickets in advance but then stand in line upon arrival for them to print it, would be easier if they just scanned from your phone.

Jizzelle Dehamel

Absolutely beautiful and the people you go up with are amazing!!!

Mark Baynham

We were fortunate to have clear blue skies when we journeyed to the top of Whistler's. The views defy hyperbole. A wonderfully uplifting and humbling experience. We will definitely return. Thank you.

Gordon Burke

Staff are wonderful and knowledgeable. The views are incredible.
