Explore Banff Tour including Gondola & Cruise Description
This tour is the perfect introduction to Banff and includes some of Banff’s most scenic and historically significant highlights surrounding the Banff townsite. You’ll then be transported to the base of Sulphur Mountain and ride the Banff Gondola to the top of Sulphur Mountain at 7,486 feet. At the summit, marvel at the unsurpassed view of Banff, the Bow Valley and a 360 degree view of six scenic mountain ranges. You’ll feel like you’re on top of the world when you are standing on the spacious main level observation deck. Afterwards, cruise beautiful Lake Minnewanka on a panoramic one-hour boat trip. Bask in the breathtaking mountain scenery, glide across emerald green waters and explore the ever-changing views of the rocky shoreline. Lunch at Farm & Fire is included in this tour.
