Silver Queen Gondola

The Silver Queen Gondola ascends Aspen Mountain, connecting the town center to the slopes and offering year-round access to skiing, snowboarding, and summer recreation. Operating as part of the Aspen Snowmass ski resort, this tourist attraction provides riders with views of steep lines, groomed runs, and hidden glades. The ride serves as a gateway to four legendary mountains, catering to various skill levels with terrain ranging from the wild beauty of Aspen Highlands to the all-day recess of Buttermilk. Summer operations include bike parks, hiking trails, yoga sessions, live music, and nature programs, all accessible directly from the gondola. Families find the experience welcoming with ample parking, restrooms, and credit card acceptance available throughout the facility. The gondola stands as a key point of interest for those seeking to explore the Maroon Bells or enjoy mountain-side adventures without leaving the town's immediate vicinity.
