Banff 2026 Paid Parking: Tips for Sulphur Mountain

Banff National Park introduces a three-year paid parking pilot at Sulphur Mountain from May 15 to October 12, 2026, charging $17.50 daily per vehicle from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. in upper and lower lots, atop a valid park pass. Pay at on-site machines to avoid violations, easing peak-season congestion amid emerald peaks and gondola thrills. Secure your national park pass online or at gates, and arrive early for free downtown options like Bear Street Parkade.
