Beautiful and relaxing! We rode an open chairlift to the top (or as far as possible in the summer). The views were wonderful. It was one of our favorite things about this trip, as we were away from the crowds. We ate breakfast, prior to the chairlift-there is a combo ticket for the lift and breakfast - it is a good value.

Worth it - can't beat the views!! The views from the top are spectacular and it's fun to ride the ski lift, too. Definitely choose the open-air ski lift chairs! They have a nice interpretive/educational center at the top and the folks who work there are really helpful and knowledgeable. We didn't see any bears, but we certainly learned a lot about them...

Stunning views. A must do for this area. The view from the overlook at the gondola was just beautiful. Option of enclosed or exposed ride up and down. We tried both and the open was a much better ride.

Great view of Lake Louise. We took the ski lift to the top where there is an interpretive center and a restaurant. We got up there too late to eat, but did check out the interpretive center. On our way to the interpretive center we spotted a grizzly bear grazing in the grasses just below where the path was. It was fun just watching him eat.

View to a Kill! We took the gondola up the mountain on a partially sunny day. We chose enclosed due to the breeze, but the young and adventurous hit the open chairs. A short walk down hill, that means it's a little up hill on your return, to the restaurant is certainly worth it. You can sit, drink, snack, or dine overlooking a breathtaking view.

Amazing Views of Lake Louise and a delicious meal at the top of the Gondola. This is a great gondola trip especially if you have just visited Lake Louise. We were lucky that is was a beautiful sunny day the day we went up and the views were breathtaking. We could see Lake Louise, Victoria Glacier and the Chateau as well scenic mountains...

Great views, great breakfast. Minimal snow around but cold as, wrap up warm. Book the breakfast and gondola trip, it's an extra $3 and I figured even if it was only a coffee and Danish that would be fine. But it was cold stuff, hot food, toast, waffles, coffee, juice. Everything you could ask for.

Best gondola ride. We rode the gondolas in Jasper and Banff but for me this was the best of the lot. Open ski lift style was great as was view towards Lake Louise. Very interesting wildlife displays and centre at the top. Also, nice outside terrace restaurant with stunning vie
