Take a thrilling and beautifully scenic ride on the only bi-cable gondola in Canada. First opened in 1959, the Sulphur Mountain Gondola was the first bi-cable gondola in North America and the first gondola of any kind in Canada.

You’ll reach the top of Sulphur Mountain, where the elevation is 7,486 feet (2,281 meters) above sea level at the end of an 8-minute gondola ride.

Once at the top, you’ll find a unique complex of visitor services including restaurants, gift shop and numerous outdoor observation decks.

When you arrive at the upper terminal, you will have the choice of exiting the building to witness the breathtaking views in every direction or going up into the restaurant area where you can sit in comfort and still see the view.

Above the restaurant levels is the upper observation deck for the best view yet! The Summit Complex and the observation decks are completely handicapped accessible.

Several scenic hiking trails lead away from the summit complex. One of the most popular is the self guided interpretive walkway to Sanson’s Peak on which you can follow in the footsteps of Norman Sanson, who walked to the top of the mountain about every week for 30 years to check the weather!

More adventurous hikers will want to try the South East Ridge Trail – a hiking trail that runs along the ridge of the mountain to the south, taking you to Sulphur Mountain’s true summit. While hiking, you may encounter the local wildlife including:

八月天這兒卻已飄起雪來了!

抵達班芙
想一覽全景就得乘坐纜車登上海拔2450米高的硫磺山
到達山頂觀景臺後
便可見班芙盤臥在洛磯山腳
依偎在弓河之邊
在山與水的層層包圍、穿插下
成為一個融藍天、蒼山、綠地和碧水為一體的大自然美妙造物
難怪它會被稱為“洛磯山脈的靈魂”!

Sulphur Mountain is a mountain in Banff National Park overlooking the town of Banff, Alberta, Canada.

The mountain was named in 1916 for the hot springs on its lower slopes.[1] The springs have been developed into swimming and hot pools. George Dawson had referred to this landform as Terrace Mountain on his 1886 map of the area.

Banff and Tunnel Mountain seen from Sulphur MountainA gondola on the eastern slope goes to the summit ridge which has a teahouse. The summit ridge provides views both westward up and east down the Bow Valley. A boardwalk can be followed on the north side to the top of Sanson Peak (2256 metres). The true summit of Sulphur Mountain can be found on the southern side on a scrambler’s route. For purists not wanting to claim a summit without the effort, a wide trail (an old road) can be followed from the Banff Hot Springs parking lot to the upper gondola terminal.

我們沿著爬山的階梯
這隻山羊也跟著我們的腳程到山頂
好奇的牠陪著我們
為這行程多了份愜意!!

看來我們捷足先登囉!!
記得那年來時天氣沒這麼冷
階梯上都是人潮

是旅遊的人少了?
還是登高的人少了呢?

台灣的國旗歐!!

牆上刻著許多名字
都是到此一遊的印記
中英法文都有
而我留下的是那年的甜蜜和此刻記憶的窩心!
