About

Your Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Adventure

Step into plenty of natural contrasts with a round-trip ride on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Beginning your journey at Valley Station, you’ll board a spacious, rotating tram car that transports you 2.5 miles from the sun-drenched desert floor to the cool, forested slopes of Mt. San Jacinto. The gentle rotation of the tram ensures you enjoy sweeping, unobstructed views in every direction, revealing the vast beauty of the Coachella Valley below and the rugged peaks that lie ahead.

A Large-scale Vertical Expedition

As you ascend from 2,643 feet to 8,516 feet, you’ll pass through five distinct ecological zones. Along the ride, watch how arid, rocky scenery transitions into lush, green wilderness. Each layer reveals a new ecosystem, from cactus-dotted washes to pine-shaded slopes. The adventure offers a window into Southern California’s remarkable diversity, with unique plants and changing wildlife habitats at each elevation.

An Thorough Experience at Mountain Station

Your journey culminates at the Mountain Station, perched atop the San Jacinto Mountains. Here, the air is noticeably cooler - often thirty degrees less than the desert below. You can take in panoramic vistas from observation decks, dine at cafes or restaurants, and browse a fun gift shop for souvenirs.

Mount San Jacinto State Park, directly accessible from the station, is a favorite for nature lovers. The park’s 14,000 acres offer more than 54 miles of hiking trails, ranging from short, scenic strolls to challenging treks for experienced adventurers. Photographers and families will both find places to relax, picnic, and observe the tranquil beauty of untouched wilderness. Snow often dusts the landscape in winter, turning paths into sparkling corridors of white and giving visitors a true four-season destination.

The World’s Largest Rotating Tramway

A highlight for many is the tram itself, which is the largest rotating aerial tramway on the planet. Its innovative design means everyone gets fine, ever-changing views, with no need to switch seats. The smooth gliding ride is perfect for all ages and especially memorable for first-time visitors to the region.

Plan Your Day in Nature

  • Bring warm layers as temperatures at the summit can be significantly cooler.

  • Trams depart regularly, making planning your visit easy and flexible.

  • After your ride, you’re welcome to explore at your own pace and soak up Mt. San Jacinto’s tranquil atmosphere.

  • Look out for interpretive displays and park maps to help guide your day’s adventure. See more tours in Los Angeles on tickadoo. See more tours in Los Angeles on tickadoo. Looking for more? Check out Catalina Island day trip or full-day LA tour on tickadoo.
