Beautiful views.

5.00Great experience on the Banff Gondola. Tickets were bought through aviator but obtained at the Banff Gondola box office. We were only allowed to pick up tickets 30 min before our gondola time. We were also asked to choose a time to return. Limited return times were available. I was not aware that a return time would be required and would have like to have more time options. Our experience was a great one. Well run, keeps people moving!
Very fun! Busy but line...

1.00During peak season, you spend more time in line for the experience than the actual gondola and peak views. I spent 2 hrs total in line for this. I would never do this again or recommend it for anyone.
