Bow Falls

The vista on display below the torrent of Bow Falls exemplifies the wild diversity of the Rockies. Rocky canyon turns to rushing falls and then to serene river, gliding off down the Bow Valley. The setting is one made famous by Marilyn Monroe in the 1953 film The River of No Return, and it’s no less dramatic today. Follow the Bow Falls trail for a view from above the cascading waters or sit on the rocky river shore and watch rafting trips take off into the calm waters below the falls.

Duration: 15 minutes

Banff Gondola

The Banff Gondola takes guests on an eight minute journey to the summit of Sulphur Mountain in a modern, fully-enclosed four passenger gondola cabin.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Surprise Corner

Surprise Corner is a spectacular viewpoint of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel and the Spray Valley. It is easily one of the most famous photo spots in Banff. “The Castle of the Rockies” sits at the base of Sulphur Mountain with the roaring Bow Falls in the foreground. Since it’s only a few minutes outside of town along Tunnel Mountain Road, it’s an easy stop for visitors to Banff. The view is, without a doubt, one of the most iconic places to snap a picture in Banff. Most visitors are likely familiar with the view, as the iconic scene is often shared across social media and used for marketing purposes. That being said, a photo rarely conveys the scale and beauty like witnessing the natural setting in person.
