Stay Cool with Unlimited Tram Rides May 1 through August 31

Starting May 1, ticket sales begin for the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Summer Pass—an ideal way to escape the summer heat. Passholders can take advantage of the cooler mountain climate, as temperatures at the top of the Tramway are typically 30-40 degrees lower than the valley floor.

Summer Passes are valid May 1 through August 31, 2026, and include unlimited Tram admissions for the passholder, a 10% discount on additional Tram admissions  (limit 4), a 10% discount at Peaks Restaurant and Pines Café, and free parking. Summer Passes are $85 for adults and seniors, and $45 for children ages 3-10. Beginning May 1, guests may purchase their Summer Pass online at https://pstramway.com/tickets/ or in-person at the Tramway’s Valley Station.

Beyond the breathtaking views from the Tramway’s Mountain Station, passholders can enjoy over 50 miles of hiking trails, picnic areas and campgrounds in the 14,000-acre pristine wilderness of Mount San Jacinto State Park.

At the Mountain Station, guests can also browse the gift shop, explore the natural history museum, and watch two documentary films about the Tramway and the surrounding State Park. For a fine dining experience with spectacular views, Peaks Restaurant is the perfect choice. Cocktails are also available in the Lookout Lounge. Searching for kid-friendly dining? Pines Café, a cafeteria-style restaurant, offers something for the entire family to enjoy.
