Overview
Sky-High Banff: The Ultimate Gondola & Lakes Experience
Ascend to the clouds and see the Rockies from a new perspective. While many tours stay on the ground, our "Sky-High" experience centers on the breathtaking Banff Gondola. You’ll soar to the summit of Sulphur Mountain to witness the most expansive 360-degree views in Western Canada.
After conquering the peaks, we bring you back down to earth to explore the turquoise waters of Lake Louise and the historic charm of Banff Town. This is the definitive tour for those who want to see the mountains from both the valley floor and the highest summits.
