This lodge is at the top of the mountain. To get there they put you on a Gondela that takes 10-15 minutes (if there are no stops). At least in the summer the hours are 8am - 6pm. After or before that you need to use their shuttle bus. If you need to check out before 8AM make sure you sign up for your shuttle ASAP as they fill up. Plenty of summertime walking trails if you haven't already walked enough in the Banf Park!

Off season for snow skiing. Not as convenient if just looking for a hotel. Only stayed one night out of our two night reservation. Wanted to be closer to lake Louise since parking is so bad there.

The sunshine mountain lodge was a fun experience for most people who like hiking or just wanting to see the view on the cable car. Dining options weren't to bad as the nearby burger shop was pretty delicious with also the chicken strips being very crunchy! Now for the entertainments we went to Banff park and visited Louise lake which were both amazing tourist destinations! Overall a good experience at the sunshine hotel! :)
