Gondola Car arriving at the top of Banff National Park

As the gondola car arrives at the summit of Sulphur Mountain in Banff National Park, passengers are greeted by a breathtaking panorama of the Canadian Rockies. The ride itself, a smooth and scenic ascent, builds anticipation as the town of Banff and the Bow Valley gradually unfold below. Upon reaching the top, the gondola glides into the modern upper terminal, where floor-to-ceiling windows provide an immediate preview of the surrounding peaks, including Mount Rundle, Cascade Mountain, and the distant Fairholme Range. Stepping out onto the observation decks, visitors are met with crisp mountain air and a 360-degree view stretching across rugged ridgelines and forested valleys. Whether basking in the golden hues of sunrise, admiring the midday vibrance of the turquoise Bow River, or watching alpenglow settle over the peaks at sunset, the summit offers an unforgettable experience. From here, visitors can explore the interactive interpretive center, dine with a view at the Sky Bistro, or take the scenic boardwalk to the historic Cosmic Ray Station atop Sanson’s Peak.

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!
