Take a cable car ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain and enjoy an exceptional view of the Canadian Rockies!
Your journey starts in Banff, a small town in the middle of Banff National Park from where you'll ride a cable car to the top of Sulphur Mountain at an altitude of 2451 metres. The national park, in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, is one of Canada's most beautiful national parks and offers you an unparalleled immersion in nature.
You'll enjoy the 8-minute climb to admire the view of the town and the valley.
Once you reach the top, you'll be treated to exceptional views of Banff Valley, Spray Valley, the Canadian Rockies, and 6 impressive nearby peaks.
You'll have the opportunity to hike up to Sanson's Peak, a former weather station. See the Canadian Rockies through the eyes of a bald eagle at the Above Banff Theatre, an immersive cinematic experience. You'll also have access to the Banff Interpretive Centre where you can learn more about Banff National Park.
You can have lunch or dinner at one of the two restaurants with a great view of the Rockies.
Take the cable car back to Banff whenever you wish.
