5.00The gondola ride was very smooth. The staff were plesant and cheerful in mood. The view while going up and down was fantastic. at the top the view was even more exceptional. Although it was freezing especially with the wind. There were fires where you could have marsh mellows. I would recommend this experience as one of the highlights of going to Banff.

5.00Jerome was exceptional! It was freezing outside and he immediately offered us blankets, which was such a thoughtful touch. He also went out of his way to take pictures and record videos for us so we could actually enjoy the moment without worrying about our phones. Super kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. If you get Jerome (from Sydney, Australia), you’re in great hands—highly recommend!

5.00Make sure to dress warm and wear good winter boots if you plan to walk the wooden path to the peek across from the indoor summit. Also bring a camera and be prepared for breathtaking views everywhere you look.
