We visited Banff in August and took the local bus to the Gondola base for the modest sum of 1CD each as Seniors ( normal price 2CD. I think the secret is to pick a day with good visibility. Excellent views from the top and if feeling energetic do the climb to the Obseratory point. Suitable for families, singles and... more

Its a bit scary at first, but when you reach the top, it is really beautiful. No words can express the feeling when you're on top of the mountain. more

27$ each is extremely expensive for a 4-min gondola ride... Landscape on top is nice, but really isn't different from what you'll see from the top of Lake Louise or Sunshine ski resorts. If you are going to ski the rockies, the gondola ride is not worth it. more

My husband hiked up the mountain, but I took the gondola (too tired from the previous day's hike up to the inkpots at Johnson Canyon!). The ride up was a little unsettling to do by myself, but at the top it was beautiful. We brought a picnic lunch and sat at one of the picnic tables on the observation deck... more

When you are standing on top of a mountain and all you can see around you is some of the most breathtaking views in the world you start to feel rather humble. I had travelled to Calgary to see an old friend and to take some time off to relax before starting back in college, and while I was on... more
