What is included with a sightseeing ticket?

A Sunshine Village Sightseeing Ticket includes a round-trip ride on the Sunshine Village Sightseeing Gondola, giving visitors access from the base area to Sunshine Village in the heart of the alpine. From there, you can spend as much time as you like exploring the village, enjoying the mountain scenery, and taking advantage of the walking trails and viewpoints before returning to the base on the gondola.

Many sightseeing tickets also include a ride on the Standish Sightseeing Chairlift during the summer operating season. The chairlift takes visitors even higher up Mount Standish, where a short walk leads to one of the most spectacular viewpoints in Banff National Park. From the viewing area, you can enjoy panoramic mountain vistas along with views of several beautiful alpine lakes below.

Your ticket also gives you access to Sunshine Meadows, one of the Canadian Rockies' most celebrated alpine environments.

You can choose a leisurely stroll or spend several hours hiking, depending on your interests and schedule.

In addition, a sightseeing ticket allows you to enjoy all of the amenities at Sunshine Village. Visitors can relax on outdoor patios, dine at the mountain restaurants, browse the gift shop, use the public facilities, and simply enjoy the peaceful alpine atmosphere. While food, beverages, and retail purchases are not included, access to these facilities is available throughout your visit.

Overall, a sightseeing ticket provides everything needed for a memorable day in the mountains, combining scenic lift rides, breathtaking viewpoints, access to Sunshine Meadows, and the freedom to explore one of Banff National Park's most beautiful alpine destinations at your own pace.
