What an amazing view up the Banff Gondola! Once you get off the gondola, you have the option of climbing another kilometre or so to the top of the mountain. It's an easy climb and there are many more spectacular views. Just as we started our climb, we noticed 4 Big Horn Sheep (2 babies) under the steps. We thought... more

OK so I am not really one for "views" -- I get bored of looking after a few minutes and want to move on. Well this place had some of the best views I have ever seen, a 360 view of the rocky mountains and valleys. It truly was breathtaking, even to a crab like me. AND what we did... more

Review: Easy to get to from Banff by car. There is a free hiking trail to the top but in the interest of time I paid for a ticket on the Gondola. While both take you to the same place, the trail is often tree covered while the Gondola gives a nice unobstructed view the entire way up (not to... more

For a spectacular view of Banff and the surrounding valley (on a clear day of course) take the Banff Gondola to the top of the Mountain. There you will also find a gift shop, café and restaurant – the food isn’t brilliant but what do you expect at the top of a mountain! To reach the summit of the mountain... more

Wow! So fantastic! The ride takes about 7 minutes to get to the top, around 700 meters higher. While going up, you can enjoy the magnificient views of the mountains, and the city of Banff, which is very close. On top, get yourself ready for some warmer clothings, since the temperature is quite cold! We went on June 6th, and... more

The Banff gondola took us up Sulphur Mountain and from there we got lovely views of Banff, and the surrounding mountains. It was still really warm up there even though it was a high altitude. We had a lovely meal in the panorama restaurant, and as it was a buffet could eat as much as we wanted. It was a... more

Myself,my husband and our son just returned from a trip to Banff. We went on the Gondola and i`m so happy that we did. The Gondola is located about a 5 minute drive from Banff,it was very easy to find. There was quite a line-up to get on the Gondola but i`m happy to say that the line-up moved very... more

We rode the Banff Gondola on the 05 May 07 when there was still quite a large amount of snow. The Gondola is located just 5 minutes from Banff Township and costs C$24.95 per person to take the ride to the upper Gondola terminal. The views up there are exceptional, and weather permitting you can walk the boardwalk to the... more

This was the second time my husband and I had visited the gondola. The first time was in August 2003, it was so busy. This time however it was a different story. There were no lines, only us. Although the day was really overcast we had a great walk along the boardwalk to the weather station, there was no one... more
