Banff gondola height

Sulphur Mountain is an icon of Banff despite the fact it is not the most scenic mountain in Banff. A hike to the top of Sulphur Mountain is ideal for anyone wanting to take in the fine mountain air and alpine views.

The Sulphur Mountain hike provides a surreal view of the towering Cascade Mountain and the staggering peaks of the Sundance Range.

You can carry yourself to the top or hop on the Banff Gondola for an eight-minute ride up 698 meters to the summit ridge.

There you’ll find restaurants, hiking trails, a boardwalk, gift shop, an information center, and observation decks. Most amazingly, the Banff Gondola is wheelchair accessible, so those less mobile can feel the joy of reaching the top of a mountain.

Since it’s easy to access and visitors can take a scenic ride up the Banff Gondola to the peak instead of sweating it out on the trail means that Sulphur mountain can be a tad crowded during peak summer.

Regardless it’s a wonderful introduction to the Canadian Rockies, and enjoyed by all who hike to the top or take the gondola.
