Facts and practical information

The Whistlers, a towering mountain in the heart of Jasper National Park, stands as a majestic beacon to adventurers and nature enthusiasts alike. Named for the whistling calls of the marmots that inhabit its slopes, this peak in Alberta, Canada, offers panoramic views that are truly unparalleled.

Ascending to a height of 2,470 meters (8,104 feet), The Whistlers is accessible via the Jasper SkyTram, the longest and highest aerial tramway in Canada. This thrilling ride takes visitors up the mountainside, offering breathtaking vistas of the surrounding landscape, including the town of Jasper, numerous lakes, six mountain ranges, and the snaking Athabasca River.

Once at the upper station, travelers can step out onto the observation deck or explore the hiking trails that lead to the summit of The Whistlers. The hike to the top is a moderately challenging trek, rewarding those who undertake it with 360-degree views of the stunning Canadian Rockies.

The Whistlers is not just a summer destination; during the winter months, the area transforms into a snowy wonderland, popular among backcountry skiers and snowboarders.
