For the best 360 degree panoramic vista of spectacular Banff National Park, book a sightseeing tour on the Banff Gondola through our Banff Central Reservations agents. The 8-minute ride takes you to three outdoor observation terraces where you can relax and enjoy the scenery, or refuel in the restaurant while drinking in the views. For a greater adventure, you might choose to hike the nearby trails, including the self-guided tour to Sanson's Peak. Watch out for local wildlife, such as bighorn sheep, marmots, and exotic birds.
