Mountaintop Experience
Quote: On the morning of our anniversary, the grey skies were clearing, and Castle Mountain was easily visible as we left the drive from Storm Mountain Lodge. That boded well for the day, and 25 minutes later the skies were perfectly blue as we entered... Read the full Banff Sulphur Mountain Gondola review

Banff Gondola
Quote: The price for the Banff Gondola is pretty steep ($20). The gondolas themselves seat four people and take 8 minutes to reach the summit, which is about 10,000 feet above sea level. From the top, there is a 360-degree view of the area, including the... Read the full Banff Sulphur Mountain Gondola review

The facility on top the gondola contains two restaurants, a snack bar and a gift shop. There is also an... Read the full Banff Sulphur Mountain Gondola review

The Banff Gondola
Quote: The Banff/Sulphur Mtn. Gondola was built to provide a view of the Town of Banff and the surrounding Bow River Valley. And that it does! For less than $20 (CDN) for adults, a clean, modern gondola carries you up more than 2100 vertical feet from the... Read the full Banff Sulphur Mountain Gondola review

Quote: Grand!!!! I have done this three times and always see a different view. In contrast to the gondolas at Whistler, or Lake Louise, this one is more rugged. You look down and learn what "Rocky Mountains" really are. I also like being in an acual... Read the full Banff Sulphur Mountain Gondola review

The Banff Gondola
Quote: We debated whether or not the Gondola was worth the $20 each to ride, but in the end, went for it. Since we arrived just after opening, the mountaintop was quiet and peaceful and afforded fabulous views of the Rockies and downtown Banff. Well worth...

  • October 14, 2000
Quote: One of the top five things we did during our week with kids in Banff. The glass wall gondolas are large enough to hold six and travel from the town of Banff up to the summit of Sulphur Mountain in about 7 minutes each way. On the way you can see...
