Description

In this episode, Celine breaks down one of the most scenic and effortless ways to soak in Banff’s epic mountain views: gondolas and chairlifts. Whether you’re hoping to ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain, spot bears from above at Lake Louise, or wander through wildflower meadows at Sunshine Village, you’ll learn which lift offers the best experience for your travel style.

You’ll get a local guide to:

  • The pros and cons of each gondola and chairlift in Banff
  • What to expect at the top (restaurants, trails, viewpoints & more)
  • Which gondola is best for each season

Whether you’re planning your first trip or narrowing down your bucket list, this episode will help you pick the best lift for those high-alpine views
