  • July 22, 2024

A great way to see the Canadian Rockies from above is to take a ride on the BANFF GONDOLA! Located just a few minutes from downtown Banff and The Royal Canadian Lodge, the gondola whisks you up to the summit of Sulphur Mountain. As you ascend, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, valleys, and the picturesque town of Banff below.

 

 

What to Expect:

 

  • Incredible Views: The gondola’s glass-enclosed cabins offer breathtaking views of the lush forests and pristine rivers below. The cabin offers 360-degree views of the Canadian Rockies, including iconic peaks like Mount Rundle and Cascade Mountain. Be sure to bring your camera—every angle is Instagram-worthy!
  • Boardwalk and Viewing Platforms: Stroll along the well-maintained boardwalks that lead you to multiple viewing platforms. Capture stunning photographs of the surrounding mountains and the picturesque town of Banff below.
  • Interpretive Centre: Learn about the ecological and geological history of the area. The interpretive exhibits provide insight into the unique wildlife and plant species that thrive in this alpine environment.
  • Wildlife Spotting: Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife. In the summer, you might spot elk, deer, or even the elusive mountain goat.
  • Dining at the Summit: After soaking in the views, relax with a meal at the SKY BISTRO, where you can enjoy gourmet cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients—perfect for refueling after a day of exploration.

Tips for Your Visit:

 

  • Timing: Aim to arrive early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid crowds and capture the best light for photography.
  • Weather: Be prepared for changing weather conditions at higher elevations. Layer your clothing and bring a light jacket, even in summer.
