Jasper Tramway is the longest and highest guided aerial tramway in Canada and the only guided aerial rope-way in the Canadian Rockies. Providing visitors with unprecedented views of six mountain ranges, glacial fed lakes, the Athabasca river (Alberta's longest) and the scenic mountain town-site of Jasper.
The adventure begins at an elevation of 1304 meters (4279 ft) above sea level in the safety of an enclosed Tram cabin. A fully trained and knowledgeable tour guide will accompany you during the smooth seven minute trip to the Upper Station located at 2277 meters (7472 ft) above sea level. During your ascent up Whistler's Mountain, your tour guide will inform you of the area, points of interest, animal life and history as well as answering questions. More than just a pretty picture, it is a true learning experience.
The high alpine is your destination and the Upper Station offers a safe and unobstructed view that you may enjoy for as long as you have time. Stroll the boardwalks viewing the interpretive plaques and watch for wildlife. Alpine inhabitants include the Hoary Marmot (famous for its whistling alert call), White-tailed Ptarmigan, Ground Squirrels, Pikas and the occasional Bighorn Sheep. Travel off of the boardwalks onto the hiking trails to the summit is possible but done so at your own risk.
High Altitude Shopping& Jasper's only high alpine gift shop. Get your Altitude Junkie T-shirt or that perfect gift for friends and family. The Treeline Restaurant offers something for everyone. Menu items range from light snacks to full meals and a wide array of beverages in a cozy cafeteria style setting. Start the day off with breakfast, finish with dinner or grab something in between. The Treeline Restaurant a view with taste!
