It was not our first time, but it is a 'must do' every time we get to the rockies (about every 5 years). The view is just amazing. This is the first time my boys will be old enough to really remember it and they thought it was great. I went a few times as a child and we would... more

Pick your day to go up, and if it's nice and clear, you won't regret it! Beautiful views from the top!! Our family really enjoyed this attraction. And don't forget to dress warmly as it can get cold and windy at the top of the mountain. more

Banff Gondola is an okay attraction. It takes about 8 minutes to get to the top. The views are beautiful of course, but that's to be expected. The cafeteria/ restaurant on the top is great, offering views without the disturbance of the wind. I think this attraction is rather overpriced. I've seen better gondolas in smaller mountains and for much... more

My wife and I just returned from our vacation in southern Alberta and we decided to take a drive up to Banff and check it out. We went to the top of the gondola and I must say the view is every bit as spectacular as people say it is. I spoke to a family of four that had hiked... more

It's almost 6 hours drive from edmonton to banff but I tell you, it's worth the trip. Roads leading to Banff will show you the beauty of the rocky mountains and for first timers like me its a sight to behold. Its good we went during summer so we were able to move freely from one place to the other... more

We took the gondola ride to the top of Sulpher Mountain this past March. It was a sunny, crisp morning and the mountains were right in your face. We had called the attraction the afternoon before, and they recommended waiting for the morning. They were right, and the views could not have been better. more

While the view and hike were stunning while atop the mountain we found that the price was kinda steep. $27 for a ride up and down the mountain. Granted everything in Banff is pricy but we found this too be a little much. (but so long as people pay what can ya do?) We went up during the winter and... more

On a clear day, I can't imagine what could possibly top this. The line up to get on the gondola may seem long and imposing - but it goes fast, don't worry. This should be on your must-do list when in Banff. But in even the middle of summer - bring a jacket! We were there in mid-July 2008 and... more

What an amazing view up the Banff Gondola! Once you get off the gondola, you have the option of climbing another kilometre or so to the top of the mountain. It's an easy climb and there are many more spectacular views. Just as we started our climb, we noticed 4 Big Horn Sheep (2 babies) under the steps. We thought... more
