Ober Mountain
Ride a large aerial tramway up from downtown Gatlinburg to ski in winter and enjoy an alpine slide and ice skating rink in summer.
Ober Mountain (formerly Ober Gatlinburg) is the only ski resort in Tennessee. Its downtown aerial tramway, about 3.2 kilometers (2 miles) long, is one of the largest round-trip tramways in the United States and offers sweeping views of the town and mountains along the way. At the summit you'll find an indoor ice skating rink, an alpine slide, a wildlife park and restaurants, and about 10 ski runs open in winter. Tramway tickets cost about $20, and activities are charged separately.
