Arrive at the SkyTram any time during the attraction’s opening hours. Climb aboard your enclosed tram car for the ride to the top. An experienced and knowledgeable guide will accompany you on your trip, sharing a few insights about the area, its history and the wealth of wildlife nearby during your ride. 

Over the course of your seven-minute ride, you’ll ascend to a height of 7,425 feet (2,263m) above sea level, enjoying superlative views of the surrounding mountain ranges as you climb.

You might spot a ptarmigan, ground squirrels, hoary marmots (famous for their whistling alerts), pikas and sometimes even bighorn sheep along the way.

Before you leave the mountain, make sure to stop at the Summit Restaurant for a meal at the top of the Canadian Rockies. Visit the gift shops at the upper or lower stations, where you can purchase a souvenir for friends back home of your memorable trip.

Great trip

They filled the Tram cars with too many people considering it is still COVID and then you could not even turn to see what the guide was talking about. It is very beautiful and had recently showed so the children really enjoyed that. The tram operator was very informative.

Amazing tram operator. Very knowledgeable of the area and town. On top of the mountain it was very cold and windy. We didn’t make it to the summit. Will definitely do it again. Beautiful view of the town, mountain ranges and rivers.

I went with a few others this past year during the rainy season. It was really cold! And fog was everywhere. But I must say it was beautiful. I really enjoyed going up the mountain and walking up to the top. We even got to see the mountains when the fog moved. And the view of the river and jasper was so amazing. I just loved it up there. We took lots of pictures. But it sure was cold. Like literally cold. My skin was turned red >,< Next time I am definitely going to bring a thick jacket and gloves.
