Mountaintop Dining at the Sky Bistro

Sky Bistro’s seemingly invisible glass walls let in rays of light that shine across the Fairholme Range. As you come in from the brisk breeze of the walkways and observation platforms at the top of the Banff Gondola, it’s a pleasure to soak up the sun in the bright and spacious restaurant.

Get creative when planning your day and visit Sky Bistro in the mid-afternoon or late evening to score a table directly against the window. Choose your own à la carte adventure or opt for the chef’s recommendation of locally-inspired fare matched to the mountain air.
