The Banff Gondola in Banff National Park isn’t exactly cheap so I was very skeptical at first. But I was happily proven wrong. The Banff Gondola is well worth the cost for the experience at the top of Sulphur Mountain. In fact, I was so happy we did it that it’s one of my must-dos in Banff.

There are around 50 National Parks in Québec, and 10 of those are near Montreal.
Québec National Parks near Montreal Canada range from a 30 minute drive away to a 3 hour drive away.
