Banff Gondola to showcase $26M makeover

The Banff Gondola is holding a grand opening event next week to celebrate the completion of $26-million in renovations.

Mark Hendrikse of Brewster Travel Canada says they basically deconstructed the old facility and rebuilt it into a modern, state of the art building.

The second floor is dedicated to interpretive interaction.

“Where families and individuals can learn about the Bow Valley, Banff National Park, First Nations and how this all came to be. We also have a 40 seat multi-sensory theatre which provides a really great presentation of the Canadian Rockies,” Hendrikse explained.

He says there are also three new restaurants in the building, and a new 360 degree observation deck on the top floor.

“One of the things we built into the design is our ability to have a rooftop wedding venue,” Hendrikse said, adding it would be a good spot to both propose and get hitched.
