Jackson Hole Aerial Tram

In just 9 minutes, the Aerial Tram glides skyward 4,139 vertical feet. The summit offers staggering 360-degree views of the Tetons, Jackson Hole valley, and surrounding mountain ranges. Don't forget to try our world-famous gourmet waffles in Corbet's Cabin.

Tram Facts

Our current tram is the second tram of its kind at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. In 2006, after 40 years of service, we retired our first tram and began building the new bigger and sleeker version that currently runs today. The original Aerial Tram held 63 people and took 9 minutes to reach the summit while the new tram holds 100 people and takes about 9 minutes to reach the top.
