Spectacular Views of the Entire Coachella Valley

Soar from the warm desert floor to the alpine Mountain station at 8,516 feet in approximately fourteen breathtaking minutes. The state-of-the art tramcars from Switzerland are some of the largest in the world, offering a large viewing area and featuring an innovative rotating floor design that provides a 360-degree viewing experience that you will not soon forget!

At the top of Mount San Jacinto, your guide will point out interesting landmarks from the overlook area that stretch all the way to Mexico!

Guests can also enjoy a wonderful 22-minute film on the history of the Aerial Tram plus plenty of space to sit and enjoy the spectacular view.

For those interested in a guided hike into Long Valley, a hiking tour is also offered.

WEATHER ADVISORY: Guests should dress for the weather. Temperatures at the top of the tram are 20-30 cooler than on the desert floor. In the winter, guests will want a warm jacket as there can be snow on the ground.
