Sea to Sky Gondola: Roundtrip

About this experience

Sea to Sky Gondola is an aerial gondola attraction near Squamish, British Columbia, rising 885 metres up the Coast Mountains in approximately 10 minutes. The gondola departs from a base station at 36800 BC-99 and carries passengers to a mountain summit with direct views over Howe Sound, one of North America's southernmost fjords, and the surrounding peaks of the Coast Mountain range. It is one of the most accessible high-elevation viewpoints among the many Vancouver attractions, sitting roughly an hour's drive north of the city along the Sea to Sky Highway. At the summit, visitors cross a 100-metre suspension bridge spanning a canyon above the tree canopy, with open views of Shannon Falls and the surrounding ridgelines. A network of walking trails fans out from the top, ranging from short boardwalk loops to longer ridge routes, and the Summit Lodge provides a sheltered base with food and beverage service. Tickets cover the roundtrip gondola ride, access to the suspension bridge, all marked trails, and the Summit Lodge. The attraction is wheelchair accessible, and all applicable fees and taxes are included in the booking price.

Before you go

Arrival and timing Make your way to the base station at 36800 BC-99 and aim to arrive a few minutes before your chosen departure time. The gondola ride to the summit takes around 10 minutes each way, so factor that into your plans when deciding how long to spend at the top. Getting around the venue Your ticket covers the roundtrip gondola ride, access to the suspension bridge, the walking trails, and the Summit Lodge. Wear comfortable, sturdy footwear if you plan to explore the trails, as mountain terrain can be uneven. Weather at altitude can differ significantly from the valley below, so bring an extra layer regardless of conditions at the base. The Summit Lodge is a good spot to warm up or take a break before heading back down.
