“Amazing Views”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

Rode to top of the Gondola, the view was great. We walked all the way to the top and took pictures of the scenery.

“DISAPPOINTING GONDOLA VIEWS”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

We had high hopes for this gondola trip, but were spoilt by the Peak 2 Peak in Whistler and the Banff Gondola where the mountains were more spectacular. We found the slopes disappointing and the higher lift was closed due to winter preparation

“Good views”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

This was quite expensive but you got a choice of going up on a gondola or open chair. We opted for the latter as I don't think you can beat seeing, smelling and feeling everything around you. We were not lucky enough to see any bears on this occasion but enjoyed a very informative talk about them at the information centre at the top.

“view worth it”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012

not only did we enjoy the views from the top of the Gondola, but afterwards we eat at their buffet at the base of the mountain and enjoyed the food there. The base lodge is beautiful on the outside, but could really use some interior design/updating on the interior.
