    Ski lifts at the ski resort Banff Sunshine

    A modern eight-person gondola lift takes you from the valley station via a mid-station to Sunshine Village. Within the ski area itself, there are mainly fast four- and six-person chairlifts. Since the 2015/16 season, the fast (detachable) four-person chairlift Teepee Town LX has been taking winter sports enthusiasts up the mountain with weather protection hoods and heated seats. It is the first chairlift with seat heating in Canada. Two conveyor belts for beginners and children complete the range of facilities.
