Introducing a new world-class Eco & Cultural Tourism Attraction
The Cascade Skyline Gondola Project
The proposed Cascade Skyline Gondola Project (formally known as Bridal Falls Gondola Project) is a new world-class British Columbia eco and cultural tourism attraction and local adventure recreation playground, located in the heart of the majestic Fraser Valley and Canadian Cascades mountain range, adjacent to stunning Bridal Veil Falls and the Trans Canada Highway.

The base area will also feature the proposed Sto’lo Cultural and Interpretive Centre that will showcase the history, sacred stories, culture and artifacts of the area’s First Nations, on whose traditional lands the Cascade Skyline Gondola attraction is set
Imagine the state of the art, electric 8 passenger gondola ride whisking you almost 1000 metres skyward in 12 minutes to the dramatic Summit day lodge/restaurant/theatre and extensive viewing decks showcasing all of the beautiful Fraser Valley scenery below, and the panoramic scenescapes of the Cascade and Coast mountain peaks all around.
The Master Plan
The master planning and economic impact studies are completed. Environmental, geo-tech, and traffic flow studies are completed. A core feature of site planning for the project is the protection and regeneration of currently "brownfield" and clear-cut watershed lands to a much more sustainable and functional natural state and habitat.
A very experienced BC development team is leading this project, stakeholder and rightsholder partnerships are in place or in process. The Cheam First Nation and Pelolxw Nations are equity partners in the project, a cornerstone of their economic development strategy. The project has been going thru the approvals process for more than 6+ years.
Jobs During Construction
Full & Part Time Positions
Tax Revenues Over 5 Years
FVRD Tourism Spending over 5 years
During the construction phase alone, the Cascade Skyline Gondola Project will supply over 500 jobs and generate over $8m in total tax revenues. From year 1, operations will create over 300 local full and part time employment positions and deliver, annually, almost $4m in tax revenues and $15m in local tourism spending. Cumulatively, over 5 years of operations, total tax revenues are expected to reach $29m and throughout the Fraser Valley Regional District, induced and indirect tourism spending is forecast to surpass $80m and create over 2500 industry jobs.
The Cascade Skyline Gondola, from day one, will be an economic driver for local communities and a catalyst for the growth of tourism throughout the Fraser Valley.
