Gatlinburg offers a mountain of fun any time of year.  One of the area’s year round hot spots is Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort and Amusement Park and there’s plenty of action at the top of the mountain any season. 

One of America’s largest Aerial Tramways departs regularly from downtown Gatlinburg, going directly up the side of Mount Harrison to the Ski Resort and Amusement Park. The two 120 passenger counter balanced cars provide a fun and scenic experience for all ages.

Even during the summer months, the amusement park offers plenty of downhill action, with fast water slides and a weaving, wandering and dipping descent down an 1,800-foot Alpine Slide.  A braking system allows you to control the speed of your sled as it races down the mountain curves, straight-aways and even hairpin turns.

You’ll also find a wide variety of other activities and attractions, including an indoor ice skating rink that’s open year-round.
