Updated: 4/25/2023
Exploring Jackson Hole in the summertime is an amazing way to experience the Tetons in all their glory. With so much going on in the area during the summer months, we know it’s difficult to decide which activities to do. If you’re visiting the area and aren’t already planning to visit us in Teton Village, take a moment to read below and allow us to guide you on an unforgettable adventure. After all, adventure is what summer in the Tetons is all about.
1. Sightseeing
Take a ride on the iconic Aerial Tram up 4,139 vertical feet to the summit of Rendezvous Mountain and experience the Tetons in a whole new way! This is the most scenic way to see expansive views of the valley below, the high peaks of the Teton Range to the north (including the prominent summit of the Grand Teton), and the surrounding peaks. At the summit, soak in 360 degree views and you truly feel like you’re at the top of the world. Don’t forget to stop into Corbet’s Cabin for a world-famous waffle (or two) and indulge in golden-brown goodness with a view.
Your sightseeing ticket is valid for any of our operating lifts, including the Bridger Gondola. Take the ~10 minute ride to Rendezvous Lodge and stop by Off-Piste Market or Piste Restaurant for a quick bite, lunch, or a beverage. The Deck at golden hour is the place to be for aprés drinks and bites–check out our evening Gondola ticket for more details.
Don’t forget to purchase your sightseeing ticket in advance to save!

The Tetons have always been a climber’s paradise and now you can get in on all the fun.

Our guides make anyone with any climbing ability feel safe as they lead you on a tour of the rocky outcroppings and cliffs of the Bowl.
