BANFF, ALBERTA — Riding the Jasper Tram is an ultimate experience for anyone visiting Jasper National Park and the Canadian Rockies.

The tramway climbs 3,000 feet to its drop off where visitors then walk up the summit of Whistlers Mountain for one of the most astounding views offered. It’s aerial views and high-suspended perspective present the type of breathless landscape the Canadian wilderness is famous for.

While riding the tramway, listen as the local guide explains the history of the tramway and FIY facts about Jasper National Park. It’s a tight but cozy squeeze, as 10 to 15 others marvel at the incredible views together.

The hike begins at the tramway drop off. After pausing on the decks to prepare yourself, commit to the steep mountainside. The hike itself is quite simple, with plateaus available to pause and absorb the view.

Once you reach the summit, take it all in. It’s an awe-striking view that demands attention. Time to sit down and reflect on nature’s beauty and just how inspiring the Canadian Rockies can be.

When finished, carefully walk down and enjoy the wrap up story when riding back down on the tramway. The combination of the Jasper Tramway Experience and the short hike offers a panoramic view unlike and other in the Canadian Rockies.
