Jackson Hole Aerial Tram Summer Season

The Jackson Hole Aerial Tram summer season opens for Memorial Day weekend, giving you a 12 minute ride from Teton Village to the 10,450 foot summit of Rendezvous Mountain. In one lift, you trade valley-floor spring for high alpine air and 360 degree views across the Teton Range and the Snake River Valley. It is a smart choice for families and friends who want real elevation and big terrain without committing to a long climb.

Your key moment comes as the red tram car clears the final tower and the southern Tetons come into full view. At the top, you can walk the ridge for photos or head straight to Corbet’s Cabin for their mountain-top waffles. The summit also connects you to several high-altitude trails, so you can use the tram as your start and finish for a day on rocky terrain, then ride down when you are ready.

Plan for a fast weather change. The summit is cooler, windier, and may still hold snow even when Teton Village feels mild, so bring a windbreaker, sturdy closed-toe shoes, and water. Buy tickets online to avoid the $49 window price and to lock in a boarding window, then arrive 20 to 30 minutes early for parking and ticketing. Check lift status before you go since high winds can pause operations, and aim for a morning ride if you want the clearest light.

The tram is fully accessible for strollers and wheelchairs, making the summit reachable for all ages. Pets are generally not permitted in summer, and if your time slot sells out you can still spend the day in the village or ride the Bridger Gondola if it is running. For the most direct access, stay in Teton Village or the Aspens area; if you prefer a waterfront base, look near the Snake River or Jackson Lake, including options searchable through Lake.com.
