Gatlinburg Sky Lift

The Sky Lift is almost a symbol of Gatlinburg, a scenic way to look at the region that can't be beat. Dating back to the 1950s, the Sky LIft has sent generations of Gatlinburg visitors soaring.

What should you expect? You'll enter the lift in town; staff members help you as the lift comes around behind you and you sit as it comes by. A bar will come down over your lap to give you the feeling of security.

It's a quiet ride up to the overlook, across the Little Pigeon River and the Riverwalk on the way. As you start the lift up the mountain, look back for a spectacular view of Gatlinburg. At the top, you'll have a digital photo made just moments before you get off; those photos are available for purchase at the top (see ours, below).

At the top, you'll find telescopes for a closeup view of the city below as well as a gift store and snack bar. When you're ready, hop a lift down for the relaxing return to town.

We love the Sky Lift and try to do it every visit to Gatlinburg. (While we love it, we wouldn't recommend it to parents with young, squirmy children; that bar that comes down over your lap is not enough to secure young children if they won't be still.)
