Full description

The Banff Gondola climbs almost 700 metres from the base near the Banff Upper Hot Springs to the top of Sulphur Mountain, giving you a bird’s-eye view of the Bow Valley as you rise. At the top, the summit building has viewing decks, an interpretive centre on the area’s nature and history, and restaurants.

From there a boardwalk follows the ridge to Sanson’s Peak and an old weather observatory, with views across the Rockies, the town and the river in every direction. Stay as long as you like and ride down whenever you’re ready.
