Okay so yes it was fun. And yes the view is amazin. But I could not get over the price they charge to get up there. If you have never seen mountains before it's worth it. If not save your money. They pack the trams full and the only thing to do once you get up there is see the... more

I think out of all the tramways/gondola rides in the Canadian Rockies, this is the most spectacular. Once you get to the top, the panorama is well worth the slightly pricey ticket. If this isn’t enough, those who are physically fit should take the trek to the top of the mountain once you exit the tram. Don’t underestimate the effort... more

Bring a bottle of water, and a little snack, as you'll want to take a little rest when you climb to the top. It can be a bit windy up there, wear something appropriate (not short shorts and flip-flops! which we saw several girls struggling with! haha) People with young kids, they might have a heard time with the altitude... more

The tramway was one of the first things we did on our family vacation. It was fairly busy, but we only waited about 20 minutes before we caught the "flight" up Whistlers Mountain. The view was simply spectacular and gives you an excellent orientation to the area. We walked part way up to the summit and were able to get... more

We rode the Jasper Tramway in June, 2009. Although the ride up is not nearly as comfortable as the Banff Gondola, the view from the top was amazing. In the tramway you ride standing up, with around 20 other people (somewhat like being in a packed elevator). Once you reach the top, there is a nice restaurant with excellent views... more

The view from the top is truly amazing. Well worth the $70 (family of 4). Some advice... the first tramway leaves at 9h30 - be there shortly after 9! We got there at 9h20 and the line up was quite long already. Also, dress warmly! There was a 12degree difference at the top! Bring hats (toques) and gloves and a... more

The Jasper Tramway is one of the most popular attarctions in Jasper. It's near to the townsite, easy to find, and well-promoted. That means it's busy. During the peak summer season, expect long lineups and jam-packed trips. The Tramway is basically just a cablecar that goes part way up Whistler Mountain to a restaurant/souvenir shop. The ride can be spectacular,... more

My 23 year old son and I visited Jasper the first week of May and went up the tram. Views are amazing. I do not like heights, but was OK, as it is a very smooth, short ride. Staff were excellent.........I think it had just opened recently and they were all new and excited about being there. We had a... more

First the good. The view from top of the Whistlers is amazing. With six mountain ranges to see, it is simply breathtaking. For the adventerous, there is a 1.5 km hike to the top of another mountain for an even better view (wear good footwear as it is rocky). Now the bad. The tramway itself is not well run. There... more
