Scenic Lift Rides
Ride high above the valley.
Some views can't be reached by car.Float above the treetops and watch the Mad River Valley unfold beneath you. As the mountain rises, so does your perspective. Forests stretch toward the horizon. Wildflowers replace ski trails. The air feels cooler. Everything slows down.
Whether you're packing a picnic, setting out for a hike, photographing Vermont's Green Mountains, or simply enjoying the ride, a scenic lift ride is one of the most memorable ways to experience summer at Sugarbush.Because sometimes the best part of the journey is remembering to look around.
Vermont's Best Views Start Here
A scenic lift ride offers a different way to experience the Green Mountains. Ride to higher elevations without the climb, then spend as much or as little time exploring as you'd like. Wander mountain trails, connect with Vermont's legendary Long Trail, capture sweeping views of the Mad River Valley, or simply pause to take it all in before heading back down.Every season tells a different story. Summer paints the mountain in deep greens and wildflowers. Early fall brings crisp air and the first hints of Vermont's famous foliage.
This Mountain Makes Us Stay Awhile.
It's easy to think the destination is the point.Then you find yourself sitting on a rock a little longer than planned. Watching the clouds drift across the Green Mountains. Listening to the wind move through the spruce trees. Forgetting to check your phone.That's the thing about mountains.They remind us that not every moment has to be hurried. rich-text, responsive-table
