I had never went on the tramway as many times as I come to Gatlinburg so we came in Dec and road the tram, I loved such a beautiful view and our 2 year old son loved the ride also.

If you are staying in the area a few days check this out on day 1. It's $12 a person for Adults round trip but they stamp your hand and it is good for 2 days worth of rides. The ride itself is very fun. Get in line early so you can get a window seat. Also check the Ober... More

I wanted to continue to the top on a second chair lift. That was another $7 each and my husband did the alpine slide (another $7). So, it turned out to be a pricey trip at the end of the day, but the views were spectacular. I wouldn't enjoy as much in season with crowds.

The main drawback was that in the morning with the Tram's windows open it was a little too cold. The scenery was nice, and the operators were friendly. If you have a bad back, please ask for a seat. I made that mistake on the first trip up the hill, and paid for it. I am on a cane, and... More

The tram was a really cool experience. It was good to look down on the town from so high up. We also rode the life up to the top and took some great pictures. While we were there we also went to the animal encounters and saw several bears.

This was closed while we were there and there was no notice that it was and no signs saying it was closed or when it would be open again. We walked all the way down there to find the doors locked.

Nice trip for the family from the streets of Gatlinburg up to Ober Gatlinburg, you can choose to drive up Ski Mountain Road, but do yourself a favor and spend a few bucks and take the tram instead, We are glad we did. And take the kids on the Alpine Slide once you are up there.

This is a good activity to do while in Gatlinburg. Wonderful views from the top of the mountain. I just wish there was a bit more to do after you get to Ober Gatlinburg.

I thought the ride was pricey. But the view was wonderful. The ride was nice and smooth. Once we got to the ski resort everything cost. I would rather pay one price and be able to do everything on top inside of everything separate. The they have the chair lift to take you all the way to the top. I... More
