Located at the edge of the town of Banff the Gondola is very
easy to reach.
The upper terminal is 7,500 feet above sea level and the
modern gondolas deliver you to the top in only 7 minutes. Hardly enough time to
enjoy the spectacular views of the Bow Valley displayed before you.
For the more energetic we recommend riding the cable cars up
to the summit and then walking down. Those in good physical condition can walk
both ways.
Sulphur Mountain Gondola actually sits atop Anson Peak, named
after the meteorologist who visited the peak more than 1,000 times at the
beginning of the 20th century. Now that's a dedicated tourist!
Walk the very easy boardwalk to Samson's Peak where you find
the historic Cosmic Ray Station.
