The Banff Gondola (Sulphur Mountain Gondola) offers incredible panoramic views of the Canadian Rockies. It's a lovely ride that whisks visitors to the top of Sulphur Mountain and allows them to experience summit views over Banff without climbing a mountain. We love to recommend the experience as it is accessible to all visitors.

It's one of the best things to do in Banff and possibly the best scenic gondola in North America. It has a long history in the park, and unlike many gondolas and chairlifts across the continent, it was not built for skiing but for its vistas. Here's all you need to know about experiencing the Banff Gondola on Sulphur Mountain.

The gondola is open year-round, except for a brief two-week break for maintenance around November. Summer is the most popular time to head to the top of the gondola, but winter can also be an amazing experience. Winter means you experience night and sunset on the top of the mountain. The gondola even highlights the night with a multimedia experience called "Nigthrise," which highlights Indigenous peoples' stories and culture.
