Sky Ride

Ascend above Banff alpine landscapes

Ride above the Canadian Rockies & take in Banff’s iconic views

Looking for a signature Canadian Rockies experience? Our Sulphur Mountain tour offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, panoramic views, and alpine adventure in the heart of Banff National Park. This is perfect for couples, families, photographers, or outdoor enthusiasts just looking for the authentic Western Canadian experience and viewpoints from the high levels.

The journey begins with a ride on the famous Banff Gondola, taking you 2,281 metres (7,486 ft) above sea level. On your way up you will be able to see in all directions six mountain ranges, the Bow River Valley, and of course, the beautiful town of Banff below!

At the top, you get to experience the 1 km boardwalk that takes you to the Cosmic Ray Station hut - which is very famous in Canadian history - and Sanson’s Peak. The interpretive signs, alpine area, and countless photo opportunities make this a quintessential Canadian travel moment.

Whether you're visiting in summer or winter, the mountaintop observation decks, interpretive centre, and on-site dining create a full experience. Winter brings sparkling snow-draped peaks, while summer opens up vibrant alpine trails and wildflower-filled meadows.
