Banff Gondolas and Chairlifts
For an unforgettable view of the Rocky Mountains without the strenuous hike up to the top, gondolas and chairlifts are a great choice for families, groups and couples!
Soar to the top of Sulphur Mountain in Banff on the Banff Gondola, just five minutes from downtown Banff! This eight minute ride in a modern glass-enclosed cabin takes you all the way up to the summit with a boardwalk, restaurants, rooftop observation deck, interpretive centre and more open year round.
You can also ride the open-air chairlift at Mt Norquay for views over Banff and dine at the historic Cliffhouse Bistro.
