    Lifts/cable cars Banff Sunshine

    A modern 8-person gondola lift leads from the base station over a middle station to Sunshine Village. There are primarily high-speed quad and six person chair lifts in the ski resort itself. Since the 2015/2016 season, the high-speed (detachable) Teepee Town LX quad chairlift with weather protectors and seat heaters brings guests up the mountain. It is the first chairlift with seat heaters in Canada. Two people movers for beginners and children round off the lift offering.
