Can I ride alone?

Yes. You can ride the Mount Norquay Sightseeing Chairlift alone. Although each chair is designed to accommodate two people, solo visitors are welcome and are commonly seen riding the chairlift.

If you're visiting by yourself, you'll usually be seated on your own unless the resort is particularly busy and staff choose to pair single riders to maximize capacity. During quieter periods, it's quite common to have an entire chair to yourself, allowing you to enjoy the peaceful ride and unobstructed views without interruption.

Many solo travellers appreciate having their own chair because it provides plenty of space to take photographs, admire the scenery, and enjoy the tranquility of the mountain. The open-air ride offers uninterrupted views of the Bow Valley, the Town of Banff, Mount Rundle, Cascade Mountain, and the surrounding peaks, making it an ideal experience for photographers and nature lovers.

If you prefer to ride alone for comfort or photography, you can politely mention this to the lift attendants. While they cannot always guarantee a private chair during busy periods, they will usually accommodate your request whenever operationally possible.

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple, or with family and friends, the Mount Norquay Sightseeing Chairlift provides a relaxed and memorable mountain experience, and solo visitors can enjoy it just as comfortably as groups.
