The Jasper Dark Sky Festival Returns This Fall — Here's How to Plan the Perfect Trip

"As part of the festival programming, I found the Jasper Skytram Star Sessions to be an exclusive dining-and-stargazing event that grants guests access to extremely powerful telescopes in the Canadian Rockies and features astronomy experts from the Jasper Planetarium; tickets are offered on select nights (Oct. 14, 15, 21, 22) with adult and child pricing listed." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.

An excellent day out and on a good weather day well worth the effort. The scenery was stunning. The staff ( Max & Cally ) were knowledgeable and will answer questions on your journey. The tram cost about $80 each . Very safety conscious lots of information. The shop and restaurant well worth a visit to sok up the scenery and get a souvenir.

We had this on our list when we got to Jasper. It was worth the cost. The views are amazing up there. You can also see the devastation from last year's fire. We opted to hike to the summit. My husband, who is 79, stopped not far from where we started but told me to go on since I was in better shape. I was past the false summit when I just decided to turn around. It was worth it to climb if you can do it but don't go past your limits if you are older. If I was younger, I would've pushed on through since I was so close but I had more hiking to do that day so that was enough for me. We ate in the Summit Cafe and shared the brisket sandwich. It was delicious!! The views from the café are spectacular.

Absolutely worth the money. It stops operating around 2nd November 2025 and back again in March. Beautiful views from the top. We were there late October so the snow made it more difficult to hike to the summit but views below submit great as well. We had a bite to eat at the restaurant.

The Whistler Mountain Tram was a highlight of my trip to Jasper. Spectacular views of the entire region including the surrounding mountains, rivers, lakes and the town of Jasper. The tram ride is smooth and at a good pace - not too fast but not poking along either. Staff are knowledgeable, very friendly and helpful. The restaurant at the upper level is superb. Great food with impressive views. Don't miss it. The dirt hiking trail to the top is not difficult for those in good health and physical shape. But seniors and those with limitations should stick to the decks and platform areas. Bring warm clothing for the mornings and evenings but late mornings through the afternoon can be warm.

The tram “drivers” were friendly and informative. It had recently snowed and was very windy at the top. We didn’t hike to the peak as we were not appropriately dressed for the winter-like weather. Amazing views and the food at the top was phenomenal

Worth the experience. Fun ride up and back with amazing views and knowledgeable guides giving interesting information. Lots to explore and see on top so wear good hiking footwear and bring layers, water and a snack.

We were glad to experience the Jasper SkyTram on a clear day—it made all the difference! I recommend buying lift tickets in advance since they are timed, though the wait wasn’t too long. The base area was clean and well-kept, and the ride up was enjoyable, with Hannah sharing interesting details about the region. At the top, the panoramic views were absolutely spectacular and far exceeded our expectations. I actually enjoyed this more than the SkyTram in Banff. Without a doubt, it was one of the highlights of our trip.
