Such a great experience! Pre-booking with Viator made it so easy once we arrived to the gondola. It was 100% worth it, and will continue to recommend the gondola, and booking through Viator to all my friends and family!

I would never use this third party business again. They charged us an extra $100. We did not realize until we showed up that Albertan's get a cheaper rate and this site never asked us this-we therfore payed an extra $100 for our family- i suggest just going to the gondola to get tickets.

loved the gondola experience up to sulphur mountain. It was about an 8 minute ride up, the views on the top of the mountain was beyond what words could describe it to be. It’s a must see.

My friend and I REALLY wanted to see the views from the GONDOLA ride. The ride was a way to finish the day and to move a little less after our 15km lake Louise adventure. The gondola ride is 8minutes long, it brings you to this tower at the top of Mont Sulphur with 3-4 levels of different sight seeing views overlooking banff village. The gondola ride is completely over priced for one round trip. Those who climb mount-sulphur get a free ride down via the gondola. This was NOT worth the $60 per person ride. Basically half the price of a Banff ski ticket. And the views were great, but for that price I would have rather gone to Lake Moraine or another park.
