Nightrise at the Banff Gondola

As the sun slips behind the peaks of Sulphur Mountain, Nightrise awakens — transforming Banff’s skyline into a living canvas of light and sound.

Created in collaboration with Moment Factory and the Stoney Nakoda Nation, this after-dark experience invites guests on a multi-sensory journey through the spirit of the mountains. Projection art, ambient soundscapes, and storytelling elements blend together to reveal the Rockies in an entirely new light.

On select evenings, the experience expands into a celebration of the night sky — with stargazing sessions, marshmallow roasting, and live performances under a blanket of stars.

Begin your evening with a golden sunset and dinner at the summit, then stay as the mountain transforms around you. At Nightrise, the Rockies don’t sleep — they shine.
