Overview

The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway carries visitors from the desert floor up 5,873 feet to the cooler climate of the San Jacinto Mountains. The ride takes about 15 minutes one way aboard one of the world’s largest rotating tramcars, which hold up to 80 standing passengers. The tramway operates on a double reversible cable system where one car counterbalances the other during ascent and descent. This ticket includes a round-trip ride on the tramway with departure times assigned on a first-come, first-served basis for the next available tram car. The total visit lasts about one to two hours depending on time spent at the mountain. Parking is available nearby but requires a fee, and shuttle service connects parking lots to the tramway entrance on weekends and holidays. Strollers are allowed on the tram. Passengers should present their voucher at the ticket office and be prepared for possible delays or shutdowns, for which no refunds are provided.
