Each gondola cabin can accommodate up to 4 people, with a combined maximum weight of 750 lbs.
-
The gondola can accommodate a wheelchair, walker or stroller, if these items can be folded. The item will be loaded into the gondola cabin ahead of the cabin you ride in. The attendant will remove it and have it ready for your arrival.
To access the Gondola barn at the base, follow the paved uphill pathway. The summit is well worn from foot traffic, but is not paved. -
The gondola skyride ticket is a round-trip ticket. Guests may offload at the summit, enjoy the views and activities and visit the Summit Cafe for a bite to eat with the best views around. Guests can then board the gondola skyride for a return ride to the base area.
