Banff Gondola
 

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.
