“Great”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

We had a great ride up the gondola. The views were amazing. Unfortunately, we did not get to see a bear. I know they can not guarantee a sighting but it was still disappointing. It was a bit crowded but overall a wonderful experience. If time permits on your trip, I would recommend this.

“Stunning scenery”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

We took a trip up the gondola which is well worth the money, if you can take the open gondola rather than the closed one as the views on the way up and down are stunning and unhindered by any glass. We were told that under the path of the gondola was a good place to see Grizzly bears, sadly for us this was not the case as we didn't see anything however the views from the top of the gondola were brilliant, we paid and did a small walk with a guide who was able to point out some of the signs of bears and other wildlife, this is well worth doing if you have the time and it only cost a few dollars.

“Priceless View”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

View like you're in a magazine. Rode all the way to the top in a gondola, took a bunch of pictures, had ice cream, and touched snow in July!! Truly unforgettable.

“Got to go the last day it was opened for the season”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 13, 2012

Great view going up, though they could clean the plexy glass a little better. Unfortunately, Lake Louise was so far away from the gondola
