Mountaintop Dining at 7,486 ft.

Perched on the summit of Banff’s Sulphur Mountain, Sky Bistro is the dining sanctuary in the sky. We pair the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains with a distinctly Canadian menu that features the unique flavours of Canada through a handpicked selection of regionally-sourced local meats, produce and ingredients.
 
Choose to dine a la carte as an add-on to your Banff Gondola experience, or enjoy our signature Sky Experience package that includes Banff Gondola admission and your choice of appetizer and entrée for one great price.

 

MORE THAN A DINING EXPERIENCE

Sky Bistro is located on the third floor of the Banff Gondola summit. As part of your dining experience, enjoy a collection of world-class adventures. From sunset to stargaze, explore the interpretive centre and theatre, capture that perfect photo along the one kilometre mountaintop boardwalk, or warm up with rooftop fire pits.
