When visiting Banff National Park in the heart of the Canadian Rockies.... see more mountains in a moment than most see in a lifetime! Ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain to experience a bird's eye view of six mountain ranges.

Banff Gondola is located just 5 minutes from the Town of Banff, on the shoulder of Sulphur Mountain, in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. The 360° view from the upper gondola terminal, view-decks and Summit Ridge interpretive boardwalk, is the very best vantage point in the west. Safely seated in 4 passenger gondola cabins, visitors are transported in 8 minutes to the summit at an elevation of 2,281m (7,486 ft) above sea level.

Lake Louise Gondola Cruise for fourteen glorious minutes, in an open chair or a fully enclosed gondola, to one of the Banff National Park's greatest views! From the top, at 2088m (6850ft), the spectacular scenery is yours to explore at will – there are ambitious hikes to the summit of Mt. Whitehorn for the hardy, or equally lovely short, leisurely strolls for those with more modest exercise goals. All lift and gondola visits begin with a pre-ride Visitor Welcome orientation. This brief presentation will ensure a safe and enjoyable visit, while enlightening guests about our unique surrounding here in Banff National Park.

The Whyte Museum
The Whyte Museum
The Whyte Museum is the centre for discovering the Canadian Rockies, where people are imaginatively engaged in the excitement of exploring Canadian Rockies art, culture, and history.

Guests can walk through four galleries for as long as they wish. The main gallery features art and artists of the Canadian Rockies. The Heritage Gallery focuses on Banff and its fascinating heritage. The Swiss Guides Room and Rummel Room offer exhibitions of art or photography that focus on the Canadian Rockies, or support larger exhibits in the main gallery or heritage gallery. All art exhibitions change at least three times a year and the heritage gallery changes less frequently.

Guests enjoy self-guided walks around the galleries or they can choose a museum tour of the main or heritage gallery. These tours are included with admission, as well as tours of the Peter and Catharine Whyte home and Moore home. Visitors can also tour the Luxton Home during the summer months.

The Museum Shop sells books, posters, unique gifts, and art by local artists.

Snow Tubing
Ever flown down a snow-covered hill with the wind rushing through your hair and looked down to see an inflated tube? If not, you should try it. Whether you’ve never touched skis or a snowboard, or just want to try something different, snow tubing is a great way down the hill. Our snow tube park, the only one of its kind in the Banff area, has a snow tube rope tow and large sliding lanes to go down along with your group of friends or your family. It’s a unique way to enjoy the slopes, and another reason to call Norquay home this winter.

Our new tube park this year also has a small sliding area, and a kids play area. So there’s even more to do on the tubing hill for your little ones.
