The Aerial Tram building itself is a landmark. Erected in 1968, it is one of the resort's most prominent buildings and it is the lower mountain terminal for the Aerial Tram. The building won an architectural award for excellence and is highlighted by it's bold design and huge windows, allowing visitors to view the massive counterweights that support the cable car. Take a walk around and marvel at the amazing technology of this unique transportation system.
The Aerial Tram also hosts the guest services desk, ticket portals, lockers, and restrooms on the lower level.
