The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway will close for annual preventative maintenance beginning Tuesday, September 8, through Sunday, October 4 with a tentative reopening date of Monday, October 5 at 10:00 a.m. The last day to ride the Tram before the annual maintenance closure is Monday, September 7.
“During this year’s shutdown, we will be repainting tramcar cabin interiors and rebuilding the carriage on cabin two, which supports the cabin as it rides on the track ropes,” says Vice President of Tramway Systems Chris Bartsch. “Annual state-permit testing will be conducted, and our Switzerland-based technicians will be performing annual service to the controls system.”
Tramway General Manager Nancy Nichols adds, “Each year, the Tramway’s annual preventative maintenance closure gives our maintenance team the dedicated time needed to complete important projects that cannot be performed during regular business hours. This work helps ensure the continued safety, reliability, and enjoyment of the Tramway for all our guests. We hope you’ll visit us in the days leading up to the closure, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back in October.”
