Fun day spent at the top of the mountain. Make sure you visit all the floors and take the hike to the cosmic ray station. Beautiful views in every direction.

I was provided wonderful service from Lachy and Gandi. They helped me change my schedule time for my gondola when my family was visiting so helpful and kind. It was amazing customer service provided by them and I am truly grateful because I am a local residence. Warm Regards Claire Rashleigh

Words and pictures will never be enough to describe this once-in-a-lifetime experience! The ride itself was smooth and offered amazing views of the rocky mountains and lush evergreen forests. At the top of the sulphur mountain, the views and scenery were spectacular and the photos didn’t do them justice. One should never leave Banff without doing the gondola ride!

What an incredible experience and view! But you tickets early and on line to save money. But the view odd definitely worth it! Amazing!

For each QR code supplied by viator, it needs to be exchanged for a gondola ride ticket at the guest services desk - preferably before getting line for the gondola ride.

If you arrive right at the time of your ride you will end up on the gondola late due to the line. Worth any amount of time you may need to wait

Beautiful scenery at the top of the mountain with dinner! Don’t miss this experience in Banff any time of of the year. I would recommend being there for sunset.
