Hundreds of people were stranded overnight after a power outage shut down the Banff gondola.

At the time power was cut, there were between 400 and 500 people on top of Sulphur Mountain says Mark Hendrikse, a spokesperson with Pursuit, the company that runs the operation in the mountain town.

Everyone stuck in the gondola cabins was helped off first that evening and helicopters with Parks Canada flew all remaining guests off the summit by 11 a.m. Tuesday morning, he said.

Hendrikse said Pursuit will reimburse visitors who were impacted. #BanffGondola #Alberta #PowerOutage
