Ride the Mount Standish Chairlift over 2,400 m (7,875 ft), the highest sightseeing elevation in the Banff and Lake Louise area. Experience 360 degree views of the surrounding Rocky Mountains. You will feel like you are on top of the world. From there, catch even more breathtaking scenery from the Standish viewpoint platform or connect to the Sunshine Meadows hiking trails and visit the three high-alpine lakes; Larynx, Grizzly and Rock Isle. Then finish your day off with a cold drink and some delectable eats at Mad Trapper's Grill & BBQ (not included).

Fun ride with great views.

Published on Sep, 2024

We really enjoyed the gondola ride, much longer than we thought it would be, the bonus ski lift ride was super fun and the views from the top were magnificent! We took the lift twice, hiking down the second time, we loved the option to do some hiking at the top.

Excellent mountaintop trails and hiking trails.

Published on Sep, 2024

One of our favorite places to visit. Great alpine hiking and views. Good trails & hiked back down to the gondolas from the top. Not nearly as crowded as other venues & trails. Great for quiet hiking, good views, and photography.

Beyond Banff superb sxperience

Published on Sep, 2024

Absolutely superb trip, well worth the money, great views, lovely walking pathways and different areas to explore . If you want to walk to lakes be prepared for a full day, incline down from viewing platform and gentle climb back up . Gondola and Chairlift superb
