A Trip to Heaven and Back via the Banff Gondola

Posted on October 16, 2011January 8, 2014 by K. Gordon

Ride the Banff Gondola in Banff, Alberta

CALGARY, ALBERTA – Canada – In as short as eight minutes, visitors who want to reach the peak of Sulphur Mountain could do so in comfort and ease via a Banff Gondola Ride.

A glass-enclosed gondola cabin seats four passengers and allows a positively unforgettable view of Bow valley, Banff and a complete 360-degree panorama of the Canadian Rockies’ six spectacular mountain ranges at more than 7,000 feet above sea level.



Atop the observation deck, feel free to shout that you are the king or queen of your world while standing at the main level’s spacious terrace. You can also choose to go through the Banff Skywalk – a self-guided interpretive walkway leading to the Sanson’s Peak Meteorological Station and the Cosmic Ray Station National Historic Site. There are also gift shops, restaurants, a snack bar and a Starbucks coffee shop at Banff Gondola.

If you want to know more of what to see, do and enjoy in the Canadian Rockies, go to Canadian Rockies now.
