Sulphur Mountain

You’ll either have to hike or take the Gondola to reach the top. The view from the top is breathtaking. Been to Sulphur mountain in summer as well as in winter & it never stops being spectacular. Note: people with Alberta ID’s tend to get a small discount for the ticket.

After going up the gondola 🚡 the beautiful views of the Rockies and Banff can be seen into the sight of you!!! You should better go to this place if you have a chance of visiting Banff, Alberta…. It is such a magical place for you to visit… lots and lots of peaks and mountains 🏔️⛰️ with the small town named Banff… it’s like a total piece of art for sure…. 👍:);):) I totally recommend you visiting this place if you have a chance going to Banff, Alberta….. 😗😙☺️🙂🙂🙂

The Banff Gondola is located at the base of Sulphur Mountain and is serviced year-round by Bow Valley Roam Public Transit. Buses run regularly, with stops along Banff Avenue. When you reach the Gondola Lower/Upper Terminal Building, you will find your way to Sulphur Mountain. The hike will take between 1.5 to 3 hours to complete depending how fast or slow you walk. The trail is approximately 5.5 km and is on a clear, well-marked switchback style trail, beginning at the Lower Terminal, Level 1. My friend and I lost our will power to reach the top of the mountain as we were depleted because of low calories. Both our brains need powered work. Unfortunately, our decision fatigue demonstrated a huge impact to depletes willpower at the end of the day. But don't follow our decision. Instead, don't GIVE UP, you never know what's waiting for you to the TOP. Gear up your energy with motivation, power it with challenge and stretch your goal. Strike approach to thriving success - be fearless!

Overall great. Before you reach the gondola they take pictures and just before that they give kids cookies and a booklet that if you turn in at the end, you get a pin. You can hike or take the gondola. The gondola takes eight minutes to get to the top. We talked to some other people that hiked up the mountain and they said that it took them two hours to climb. At the top there are four floors. Floor two has most of the stuff and is therefore the most interesting of the four. There is also two observation decks and a way to go really close to a meteorology center at the top. IMPORTANT NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE A PARKS CANADA PASS VISIBLE ON YOUR CAR OR YOU WILL GET A WARNING if you get two or more you will get a fine. WARNING OVER. I recommend getting tickets for anytime before 9 o’clock because after 9 o’clock the parking becomes crazy but if you come before 9 o’clock, you can find parking.

Hike of 11 km round trip with out and back trail by passing through the clouds for sulphur mountain was worth the beautiful views at the top. It took us 2.5 hours to hike up and 1 hour for hiking down the mountain.

AMAZING view along the walk!! It was not too easy, as we did it with snow and it was quite steep. It took us around 3h30 as 59 years old beginners. It is 5.8 km long with a drop of nearly 700 meters from the bottom to the peak. After going up, we took the gondola down, which was for free that day. I truly recommend this, it is really worth the hike!

We went early and took the gondola to the top of Sulphur Mountain. Fantastic views looking at all of the various mountain ranges Still some signs of snow. Playful squirrels everywhere - they know tourists = food. By the time we got back down the queues were huge - so good timing by us

Breathtaking views at every turn! The hike is invigorating, the scenery is spectacular, and reaching the summit is truly rewarding. You have to use the gondola to reach the starting point for the sulphur mountain hike.
