Traveler reviews
Visiting from Calgary
We enjoyed our experience going up in the Gondola, and were awed by the views! We didnt go into the restaurants, but we ventured into the Gift Shop. If I had to say one thing, souvenirs about Canada should be MADE IN CANADA. We saw a few things that were made in the USA which we would not touch. And, I thought the prices were high.
Amazing experience!
The Banff Gondola was an amazing experience! The views were absolutely breathtaking, both during the ride up and once we reached the top of Sulphur Mountain. The gondola ride itself offers beautiful panoramic views of Banff and the surrounding mountains, and the scenery gets even more impressive as you reach the summit.
To have a relaxing place to enjoy end learn.
Every minute was worth it—the views were absolutely spectacular! 🌄 We climbed all those stairs to reach the historic building where scientists once studied the weather and rocks. Standing there, surrounded by those incredible views and so much history, was truly unforgettable. What an amazing experience! ✨
Gondala ride
Beautiful scenery. Not a long wait in lines as they move quickly. The "stair hike" to the very top was not as bad as expected! Worth the climb.

Loading onto Gondola was fast and efficient. Plenty to see at top. Restaurant, viewing decks, and nice walk to observatory. Clouds started coming in (we had a 9:50am boarding) so views of town, river, and mountains became very limited. We parked in Train station parking lot and took Gondola shuttle to loading area-good idea since it was free parking and when we came back to town we could still walk town without worrying about car or moving it.
