Whistlers Road, Jasper, Canada

Taking the Jasper SkyTram

A literal high point! This cable car whisks you up Whistlers Mountain, offering panoramic views of Jasper National Park. At the top, the scenery is nothing short of spectacular, with snow-capped peaks and valleys stretching as far as the eye can see. A short hike to the summit of Whistlers Mountain offers even more impressive vistas. It’s about an hour’s climb, but it is well worth the effort.

Valley of the 5 Lakes hike

A moderate hiking trail that takes you past five shimmering lakes, each boasting a unique hue of green or blue. There are multiple trails you can follow. For the best experience, opt for the route that takes you to all five lakes, starting at the first one - this is the opposite direction of what the sign at the trailhead says.
