This is in my opinion is the best view from a Gondola in the rockies. You get to see Lake Louise, "the Jewel of the Rockies" from across the valley. There is just nothing that compares to it. The Banff Gondola is nice too, but nowhere near the same scenery. I would recommend this gondola to anyone and there is... More

Highly recommend this activity at sunset on a sunny, winter day. The beauty of the Rockies and the color changes on the sommets of the mountains was stunning. Very romantic and amazing experience and with the trail on the top, you can really milk the scenery for all its worth :)

You have to time this right for the mountain to not be packed with skiers and snowboarders. Great views but just really obstructed and a long wait in line. Although we were there for some of the busiest days of the year.

A good drive to the lake, awesome views and good hiking trails. Can be cold even in the summer so dress accordingly.

We had a great ride up the gondola. The views were amazing. Unfortunately, we did not get to see a bear. I know they can not guarantee a sighting but it was still disappointing. It was a bit crowded but overall a wonderful experience. If time permits on your trip, I would recommend this.

We took a trip up the gondola which is well worth the money, if you can take the open gondola rather than the closed one as the views on the way up and down are stunning and unhindered by any glass. We were told that under the path of the gondola was a good place to see Grizzly bears, sadly... More

View like you're in a magazine. Rode all the way to the top in a gondola, took a bunch of pictures, had ice cream, and touched snow in July!! Truly unforgettable.

Great view going up, though they could clean the plexy glass a little better. Unfortunately, Lake Louise was so far away from the gondola

Rode to top of the Gondola, the view was great. We walked all the way to the top and took pictures of the scenery.

We had high hopes for this gondola trip, but were spoilt by the Peak 2 Peak in Whistler and the Banff Gondola where the mountains were more spectacular. We found the slopes disappointing and the higher lift was closed due to winter preparation
