Palm Springs Aerial Tramway to Reopen One Day Ahead of Schedule

PALM SPRINGS (CNS) – The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway will reopen Friday, one day earlier than previously announced.

The Tramway was closed for more than a month for annual repairs. During that period, staff were able to complete maintenance tasks such as replacing four tension ropes, testing the gearbox and repositioning track rope.

The tramway was also closed in February due to storm-caused road damage.

Operating on its usual schedule until early September, the world’s largest rotating tram car carries visitors 2 1/2 miles from Palm Springs into the San Jacinto Mountains, a trip that takes about 10 minutes. At an elevation of more than 8,500 feet, Mountain Station is an entry point to more than 50 miles of hiking trails.

“We extend our gratitude to our visitors for their patience as our Tramway Systems team diligently completed all necessary projects,” General Manager Nancy Nichols said in a statement. “We eagerly anticipate welcoming both new and returning visitors to the Tramway and the beautiful Mt. San Jacinto State Park and Wilderness.”
