Banff Gondola West Picture Views

The westward views from the summit of the Banff Gondola are among the most captivating in the Canadian Rockies. From the observation decks and boardwalks atop Sulphur Mountain, your gaze sweeps across the Bow Valley as it stretches toward distant mountain peaks bathed in shifting light. Below, the town of Banff sits nestled in a cradle of evergreens, while the Bow River winds through the landscape like a ribbon of blue. Mount Bourgeau and the dramatic Sawback Range dominate the western horizon, their rugged slopes often glowing golden in the late afternoon sun. As you walk along the ridge toward Sanson’s Peak, each step reveals new angles of the valley floor, the Vermilion Lakes sparkling below and the sky painted in layers of light and shadow. Banff is bathed in the deep blues of winter or the warm hues of summer, with westward Summit views that offer a sense of vastness, serenity, and awe that lingers long after the descent.

Banff Gondola Ride Reviews

Breathtaking views and an unforgettable experience!

Jessica Squires-Moffitt, July 2025
The Banff Gondola is a must-do! The ride up was smooth and offered stunning views the entire way. Once at the top, the panoramic scenery was absolutely breathtaking, snow-capped peaks, endless mountain ranges, and fresh alpine air. The boardwalk at the summit is easy to walk and gives you even more incredible vantage points. The facilities at the top were clean and modern, and the staff were friendly and helpful. An unforgettable way to experience the beauty of Banff!

All of the views are spectacular!

From the gondola ride to the building terraces to the walk to the top of Sulphur Mountain, all of the views are spectacular. Definitely worth the trip. I recommend taking the Roam Bus (route 1). Much easier than trying to park up at the lower gondola station. Had dinner at the Sky Bistro. Great food with the back drop of those same amazing views.

The Banff Gondola offers a well-organized and memorable experience from start to finish.

The Banff Gondola offers a well-organized and memorable experience from start to finish. On the admin side, everything runs smoothly. Free on-site parking is a big plus, and while there are lineups to board, the process is efficient and well-managed. Each gondola car fits four people comfortably. Tickets are timed for both the ascent and descent, which helps manage crowd flow. However, the staff at the ticket office are friendly and flexible if changes are needed-great customer service. It's also worth checking online for better deals in advance.

The Banff Gondola offers a breathtaking ride to the summit of Sulphur Mountain, providing panoramic views of the Rockies. The experience is truly unforgettable, especially with the interactive exhibits and scenic boardwalk at the top. It's best to visit on a sunny day to fully enjoy the stunning mountain vistas and capture crystal-clear photos. Although the ticket price is a bit expensive compared to the short ride time, the views and experience at the summit make it worthwhile.
