Customer Reviews
The 2200 foot climb with 2- 4 seat gondola cabins is a must do on any bucket list. There are 3 restaurants at the top. A cafe with plenty of eats and bevies, a buffet style restaurant with an amazing aray of food items and desserts, and the Sky Bistro. The reward at the top are the stunning mountain views. I encourage you to take the boardwalk to the peak. Dress appropriately and proper footwear suggested.
Loved this! The gondola ride was great. The view from the top is amazing! The actual trails at the top were closed when visited but there was still space and short trail to walk at the top to enjoy the view. There also an outdoor restaurant at the top. Small line to enter the gondola ride but moved quickly. The staff were also really friendly. Would recommend checking ticket prices online and if trails are open prior to going.
The Banff Gondola is one of the most iconic experiences in the Canadian Rockies, offering breathtaking panoramic views and exceptional opportunities for photography. Located just a short drive from downtown Banff, the gondola takes visitors to the summit of Sulphur Mountain, where six mountain ranges unfold in every direction. The journey itself lasts only a few minutes, but the scenery evolves dramatically as you ascend — from dense evergreen forests to rugged alpine peaks. At the top, photographers will find a series of viewing platforms and the Sulphur Mountain Boardwalk, a scenic trail leading to the Cosmic Ray Station. Every step along this ridge provides a new composition — sweeping valleys, glacial rivers, and the charming town of Banff nestled far below. The light changes quickly at this altitude, making sunrise and sunset particularly magical times to visit. The summit complex, known as the Banff Gondola Upper Terminal, features indoor observation decks, interpretive exhibits, and a rooftop terrace perfect for wide-angle landscape shots. For those who enjoy combining photography with fine dining, the Sky Bistro offers spectacular window views alongside locally inspired cuisine. Winter adds another dimension to the experience: snow-covered peaks, soft golden light, and the contrast of white landscapes against deep blue skies. In summer, the air is crisp and clear, revealing endless layers of the Rockies — a dream setting for both casual photographers and professionals. The Banff Gondola is more than just a ride — it’s an invitation to see the Canadian Rockies from their most majestic angle. Whether you’re capturing vast landscapes, dramatic skies, or intimate mountain details, this location rewards every photographer with unforgettable imagery.
