Banff Gondola Ride Reviews

Winter time, the gondola was an easy ride

John Edmeades
Winter time, the gondola was an easy ride, definitely worth the visit. Wrap up in layers, the seated trip was cold not unbearable, however the trail behind the gondola is definitely worth a visit. And of in winter, definitely wrap up. Be aware that visibility will depend on the weather, those looking for pristine views may want to wait until summer months, however winter is worth the trip. Costly, but worth it for views that rival the top of the world!

It's a world class experience!

Aisha Jiffry
It's a world class experience! Loved the entire experience totally worth every dollar you spend. The views of the rockies and the Banff National Park from above is so beautiful. The gondola experience is very safe but can get chilly towards the night. Takes about 6-8 mins for the entire ride, but we spent over 2-3 hours up on the summit exploring.

Banff is an absolute gem!

Aarti Pal
Banff is an absolute gem! The breathtaking mountain views, crystal-clear lakes, and charming town vibes make it a must-visit destination. Whether you're hiking, exploring Lake Louise, or strolling through the picturesque streets, there's something magical about this place. The wildlife sightings, friendly locals, and cozy cafes add to the experience. If you're visiting in winter, the snow-covered landscapes and ski resorts are stunning. In summer, the hiking trails and scenic drives are unbeatable. Definitely a bucket-list destination!
