When visiting Banff National Park in the
heart of the Canadian Rockies.... see More Mountains in a Moment than
Most see in A Lifetime. Ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain to
experience a bird's eye view of six mountain ranges..
Banff Gondola is located just 5 minutes from the Town of Banff, on the
shoulder of Sulphur Mountain, in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. The
360o view from the upper gondola terminal, view-decks and Summit Ridge
interpretive boardwalk, is the very best vantage point in the west.
Safely seated in 4 passenger gondola cabins, visitors are transported in
8 minutes to the summit at an elevation of 2,281m (7,486 ft) above sea
level.
At the summit. The gondola upper terminal offers restaurant options, a
gift shop and a spectacular roof top observation area with interpretive
material giving directions and distances to major cities of the world
and commemorating the area's designation as a UNESCO World Heritage
Site.
Visit the boardwalk. There are more view-decks on the main level, as
well as the start of a 1km long elevated board-walk that leads visitors
along Sulphur Mountain's summit ridge to the Cosmic Ray Station National
Historic Site of Canada, and the historic Sanson's Peak Meteorological
Station.
Awaiting you at the end of an 8 minute gondola ride to the top of
Sulphur Mountain is a unique complex of visitor services including
restaurants, gift shop and numerous outdoor observation decks.
