Reaching to the Sky - The Historic Banff Gondola

Since 1959 visitors from all over the world have been awed by the beauty of the Rocky Mountains with a ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain on the Banff gondola. The grandeur of the Canadian wilderness, that has captured the imagination of the world, becomes a reality on the 8 minute trip to the upper terminal. The Banff gondola has a history of creating an appreciation for the unspoiled land in the Banff area. You have a panoramic view of the wide variety of tree species such as pine, Douglas fir, balsam, and aspen. You might be lucky enough to spot some of the local wildlife: deer, elk, big horn sheep, maybe even a bear! This history has cemented the Banff gondola into a hugely popular attraction that you must experience for yourself.
