A timeless gondola ride. A memory you’ll keep forever.
Soar to Sulphur Mountain’s summit and take in sweeping views of six mountain ranges, the Bow Valley and the charming town of Banff. Once you're at the top, your adventure begins. Stroll the boardwalk to the Cosmic Ray Station and Sanson’s Peak, or head inside to explore our world-class mountaintop discovery centre, where the story of Canada’s first national park unfolds.
Fuel up with grab-and-go fare at Castle Mountain Coffee Co., the Northern Lights Alpine Kitchen buffet or an elegant meal at Sky Bistro. Exceptional service and jaw-dropping vistas are hallmarks of our summit dining experiences. Summer nights are equally stellar atop Sulphur Mountain. Think rooftop patio sips as the sun sets behind the Canadian Rockies.
*One free child admission for each paying adult. Hours subject to change.
Parks Canada is currently conducting renovations at Sanson Peak and the historic weather station. To ensure this important work can be completed safely, a portion of the boardwalk is temporarily closed.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.
Golden hour hits new heights. From June 27 to September 1, 2025, Sunset Festival transforms Sulphur Mountain into Banff’s highest outdoor celebration — admission included with your Gondola ticket.
