This is definitely a must do when visiting Jasper. My wife and I visited this spot a couple years back and truly enjoyed the experience. I look forward to going back some day. This would be a great spot to bring visitors to the area/country to show them how beautiful Canada is. It's a breath-taking view from the mountain. There... More

If possible, take your own lunch and hike to Indian Ridge to maximize your experience. Be sure to note the times of the last car down, Too bad it is not open longer into the evening, i would love to linger over diner here and watch the sun go down

The tramway takes you up Whistlers Mountain for a breathtaking view of Jasper and surrounding mountains! It's $30 per person, or you can hike up the mountain like we did and ride down for free! When you get off the tram you can hike up to the summit for an even more amazing view. It is worth it to hike... More

We had waited years to get up on the tramway, it seemed most of the time when we hit Jasper, that the weather is rainy or cloudy. We finally got a clear day and we went up. The view is spectacular. After you get off the tramway, there is another 600 feet to climb to the summit, a must do!... More

We went on a rainy day so the views were not that great. A sunnier day would have made this day a whole lot nicer for us. We rode up on the tramway, had a lovely breakfast and then looked around. I tried walking on the trails but it was so foggy and rainy that I decided to return to... More

The views from the top of the Tramway is still spectacular! We took the tram due to its historic and brilliant engineering history, and how that the original tram is still being used! There is also a small cafe on the top with views. Food is average. It may not be approved of, but we did trespass the "closed" sign... More

This is a must do on a clear day-we were able to see Mt Robson from the top without clouds over-a very rare sight apparently! It gives you a good overall view of the whole area-loved it. We had 27*c and cloudless skys whilst here-I believe that is quite unusual but they had a late summer this year. I was... More

We really enjoyed this tram ride and the gorgeous scenery. I think it was $30 but I don't remember the exact price. It can be cold up there so bundle up.

The view was amazing. Take warm cloths at the end of the season. Lots of space to find a spot and enjoy the views. It is a great spot to enjoy the colors of the lakes.
