It was a great experience despite the massive numbers of folks going up on the Gondola. Naturally this is to be expected. Everyone was very respectful and courteous. The view from the top of Sulfur Mountain down to Banff Townsite is spectacular and could not be accomplished other than by Gondola. The Town of Banff idea of transportation coaches to Sulfur Mountain is a great in very much reducing vehicular traffic. That said there is still way too much traffic with very few areas to park if one did want to drive. The Roam Coach is the way to go!

Explore the interactive Above Banff Interpretive Center to learn about the early explorers, wildlife, and local area.

Included in your ticket is the “Above Banff Theatre” where you soar above mountain peaks and through the Bow Valley on a cinematic journey that spans generations. Along the way you will encounter daring climbers, high-flying skiers and stunning shots of mountain wildlife.

Several scenic hiking trails lead away from the summit complex. One of the most popular is the self-guided interpretive Sulphur Mountain Boardwalk to Sanson's Peak and the Sulphur Mountain Cosmic Ray Station, a National Historic Site.

For a drink or snack at the top, visit the Castle Mountain Coffee Co.. If you are looking for a full meal, make a reservation at either the Northern Lights Alpine Kitchen buffet-style restaurant or the Sky Bistro, serving elevated Canadian Cuisine.
