Banff National Park

Take in the Rockies’ most breathtaking views on a summer sightseeing gondola or chairlift. With departures from locations across Banff National Park, there are plenty of ways to ride. Choose the iconic Banff Gondola, the nature-inspired Sunshine Village Gondola & Chairlift, the Lake Louise Sightseeing Gondola & Chairlift - known for excellent chances to spot grizzly bears - or the North American Chairlift at Mt. Norquay, your gateway to an unforgettable open-air journey above it all.

Which Gondola & Chairlift to choose?

Each Gondola & Chairlift experience provides a different way to view Banff National Park. There's a gondola and chairlift option suitable for everyone!

The Banff Gondola is closest to the Banff townsite. It has an interpretive centre and restaurant options at the top, along with a boardwalk for snapping awesome photos.

Sunshine Village Gondola & Chairlift is all about the wildflowers and hiking trails. It is the fastest way to get stunning alpine views.

Lake Louise Gondola & Chairlift has some of the best chances to spot wild grizzly bears. This place balances sheer beauty, effortless adventure, and an escape from the bigger crowds. 

Enjoy a 10 minute chairlift ride at Mt Norquay, up to 7,000 feet and experience spectacular views of the Banff townsite, across the Spray Valley, plus the jagged edges of Mt Rundle as a feature for all your photos.
