Ober Mountain’s Gatlinburg tram is a thrilling way to experience the beauty of the Smokies. The 2.1-mile ride offers stunning views as it takes passengers from downtown to the mountaintop Ober Gatlinburg Amusement Park where family fun awaits. From seasonal winter sports to year-round ice skating, mountain biking, and more—there’s something for everyone at Ober.
You will enjoy great views on the way up along with plenty to explore at the top, including an animal sanctuary where you can buy tickets to see bears, otters, and other wildlife up close. If you’re feeling daring, you can even buy an additional ticket to ride a chair lift to the very top of the mountain.
