    Breathtaking Views
    We really enjoyed the ride up and down, and the walk to the highest point. Great views and enjoyed the historical information too re famous characters in development of Banff. We used the free public transport up and down from town which was very useful.
    Hi breezybrain, Thank you for the review! We are pleased to hear you had a wonderful time soaking in the amazing views and historical information we provide up at the summit as well as utilising the free roam bus back to downtown. Hope to see you again soon, have a lovely day. Warm regards, Gandi

    Nice view, do the boardwalk to Sulphur Mountain
    Worth the walk to Sulphur Mountain. Signages indicating each summit in view. Long lines up n down the gondola but staff worked efficiently to load passengers to keep it moving fast. 4 people can fit in one gandola
    Hello 19daydream76, Thank you for your review. We are glad you had a wonderful time up at the summit enjoying the views of Banff. We are pleased our procedures set in place to ensure minimal wait times worked efficiently for you. Hope you have a great day. Warm Regards, Gandi

    Great experience!
    My husband and I really enjoyed our Banff Gondola experience. We used the free roam transit option to get to and from the gondola and it was quick and easy. The gondola ride was awesome and we were pleasantly surprised by all there was to do at the top! We enjoyed checking out the interpretive centre, walking to the observation tower, and our delicious meal at Sky Bistro.
    Good morning Francie70, Thank you for your wonderful review. Glad you enjoyed your experience from start to finish and took advantage of the stress free opportunity of taking the roam bus to enjoy all we have to offer up at the summit. We hope to see you again soon. Have a great day. Warm regards, Gandi

    Gondola Trip
    Fantastic views from the top and great buffet. Definitely worthwhile to make the walk out to the viewing deck at the old weather station. There is a small rocky step at the very end of the walk but the rest is all on decking boards.
    Hi Stuart_scotland100, Thank you for your kind review. Glad you loved your time with us, and took the time to go to the weather station at Sanson's peak. Have a good weekend and hope to see you soon. Warm regards, Gandi

    Worth visiting
    Would highly recommend the Banff Gondola. The view was amazing. Although there were many people, the line moved very quickly. Definitely take advantage of their free shuttle or public transportation. Parking is very scarce.
    Hi LoveSun_and_Sand99, Thank you for your amazing review. We are glad that everything moved quickly and that you got to experience the amazing view. Have a great day! Many thanks, Gandi

    Banff From Above
    Even though it was raining and overcast, we totally enjoyed our trip on the Banff Gondola. The view of Banff was visible about half-way up and down the gondola ride. The interpretative center was really informative and interactive. We will do it again next time we're in Banff.
    Hi dszubi, Thank you for your review. We are glad that you had a good time and enjoyed our interpretative center. We hope to see you next time you are in Banff! Have a great day! Many thanks, Gandi

    A little spendy, but worthwhile
    We visited the gondola as part of our honeymoon. Thankfully the clouds weren’t obstructing our view the whole time. Just a few here and there. We went at 730p and the views were gorgeous and the boardwalk longer than I expected which was cool.
    Hi amymattocks23, Thank you for your review. We are glad you had a good time and got to experience the boardwalk. Have a great day! Many thanks, Gandi

    Beautiful Views
    We had an amazing time doing the Banff Gondola. It was a quick ride up and gave beautiful breathtaking views of the town of Banff and the mountains. It was our first time and we couldn’t believe the amazing experience it was. We would definitely do it again if ever back in the area!
    Hi miraandamillerr, Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad that you got to experience the breathtaking views from at the top of the gondola and that overall you had an amazing experience. See you next time! Have a great day! Many thanks, Gandi

    Smoothly organized, but few hiking possibilities at the top.
    Smoothly organized, but few hiking possibilities at the top. We went to go hiking at the top, but unfortunately not much around to hike over there. So we decided to take the walk downwards instead of the 7min gondola. Glad we did not do it the other way around, because the climd is really challenging.
    Hey Robin, We are really grateful you left us a nice review! and I love to hear that you thought it was smoothly organized! If you come back, there is a hike off of our helipad that takes you all the way out to Sulphurs main peak! And definitely good advice to those who are looking to hike! Thanks, Adam Macleod Guest experience supervisor

    Peaks in the smoke.
    There was smoke in the air due to long lasting wildfires. So photographic experience was poor. If this is very important for you check webcam or wheather forcast first before booking. All other experiences were great (e.g. Sky Bistro, Theatre, Nature Exhibition).
    Hello Paul, I'm really sorry to hear that you were not able to experience the views we have to offer! we hope you can come back soon and see this, and take some amazing photos! I'm really glad our other experience made up for this! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Regards, Adam Macleod Guest Experience Supervisor
