The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway in Palm Springs, California, is the largest rotating aerial tramway in the world. It was opened in September 1963 as a way of getting from the floor of the Coachella Valley to relatively near the top of San Jacinto Peak and was constructed in rugged Chino Canyon. The twelve-and-a-half minute ride begins at the Valley Station at 2,643 feet and passes up North America's sheerest mountain face through five life zones on its way to the Mountain Station at 8,516 feet. Travelers start in the Sonoran Desert and arrive at an alpine forest. Passengers disembark at the Mountain Station in the alpine wilderness of Long Valley and Mount San Jacinto State Park. The air can be as much as 40 °F cooler at the top than in the desert.
dang ... long drive to get there ... ■■miracle he didnt start recording from his house front door ... good vid .. thanx
hahahahahahahahaahah
hahahaha
That's funny😂
It would be nice if you could do without on the tram car.I would like to hear the guy on the pa.Talking about the trip up there.Could not hear him over all the chitchat.
We visited from Scotland,UK last year.....great experience,stunning views,beautiful location......would do it all over again...!!!!!
When we lived in Covina, California mid to late 1960's, we rode the cable car (non-rotating)....it was fairly new then. There was a one-armed maintenance worker who would ride the car standing on top of the gondola holding on with one hand...it was a great adventure back then when I was in my early twenties....
wow that is special!
Any idea How he lost his arm??
@@GrumpyCat24 Have no idea...I just remember his bravery riding on top of the cable car up and down ....he was inspecting the cable and pulley system I am thinking....
I've been on this several times and it is quite the experience especially in the winter. When the tram goes over the towers, your stomach feels like it is dropping out. I hate heights, but it is still great!
Is it too hot to go on this in July ?
I love going on this 🚡 tramway, my mom lived in Indio and Palm Desert a few years back and we'd head over there fairly often for a nice drive and day on Mt San Jacinto
The video doesn't do the steepness of this terrain any justice. Not the cameraman's fault. San Jacinto Mtn is a 10,800ft peak rising off the desert floor. Just east of here the desert sits below sea level. An amazing place to explore.
Wait till you go on this thing !!! ...It IS like flying !...I felt just like a 6 year old on my birthday, in Dr. Seuss land ! Taken by the seat-of-my-pants, by this huge stork... up through, and into a dream land..!!! A mini mall in the sky....
It was incredible !!! The scenery was way beyond breath taking !!! And so was that incredible ride !!! 😳🤯😶😳😊😁👍
I FINALLY GOT TO GO ON THIS..AND IT JUST BLEW MY MIND !!! 😳🤯!
I went here a few years ago and it was an amazing experience! If you get motion sickness they have seating in middle that doesn't rotate. Beautiful views! And the mountains were like visiting another state. You go from hot desert to cool mountains with evergreen with touches of snow! At least 30 degree difference in temps and like visiting a Montana park!
Hello, so your saying that the car actually rotates while it is either going up or down thew mountain, if so that is really cool
It was amazing, been there myself for honeymoon. Glad I was talked into doing it. Top of mountain looks like your in Washington State or something.
curious. did you go in the summer or winter? I'll be going in August pretty much the hottest time and I'm wondering if I would need a light jacket for the top of the mountain or not.
@@pizzasubs - The floor rotates, not the car.
@@DavidRH714 I took the tram about 14 years ago before they had the rotating gondolas. When we left the valley floor it was 116°; when we reached the top it was 66°. That's a 50° swing in the span of 7,000 ft. So you can imagine what it would be like if you left Palm Springs in February to take the tram up to the top. It would likely be temps in the low 30s and a couple feet of snow on the ground.
WOW ! Beautiful video of the Palm Springs Tramway. Thanks for giving us the elevation information. Incredible engineering and brave builders who installed the cables and towers. Fantastic mountain views ! A great attraction to visit. I hope the restaurant has very good food, such as the park service one at Mount Rushmore. Cheers !
The Renovation to a rotating ATW, "ropes" changing from 2 carrier & 2 transport cables to 2 carrier & 1 transport cable (System Bleichert/Zuegg) and the fixing of the Towers also was done by Garaventa (CH).
From Tokyo! feel like I was already there!!
Ive been on it and its alot more terrifying when you're actually there ahaha
The BEAUTIFUL Mt San Jacinto!!!
One of my former coworkers is funny. He has the wrong misconception that it doesn’t snow in California because it doesn’t snow in LA.
@@legendaryTMNICO it sure does up there. I've seen snow in Coachella valley during winter too.
AMEN I KNOW WHO MADE IT ME AND MY UNCLE OWN THIS TOWN.
Awesome video on the tram, I felt like I was there with you with the way you filmed it!
We were there in 2018. Wonderful place. I suggested to the operator they need to put in a zip line.
Love it there! I just did a vlog from when I was in Palm Springs, however I have never tried the aerial tramway.. maybe next time! Have a good day
Saw it in a Columbo episode. Short Fuse S01E08 Changed a lot since 1972.
Great video , taking my family there this coming weekend... so looking forward to it...

Not anymore you're not!
Does your life feel like a circle? See you soon.
Very well done. Felt like I was there. Thank you!
I have taken the ride .. My family does not live far from there .. Great memories .. Thank you ...
By the way....the Original ATW of 1963 was just a 'Standard' One. Built by 'vonRoll - Habegger' from Thune / Switzerland. The Vehicles (Cabins) were built for at least 80 Pers.+1 by 'CWA - Carosserie Werke Aarburg' , also from Switzerland. The new rotating vehicles have the same size & design as the vehicles of the 'Monte Bianco Skyway' in Italy, arriving at the top of 'Punta Helbronner' , which is connected by a small Cable car with the 'Mont Blanc - Aiguille du Midi'. An ATW from Chamonix in France arrives also there.
So - the title "largest rotating ATW" is splitted between Palm Springs ATW & Monte Bianco Skyway, since 2015
Nice!! Never knew of this until now. Gorgeous mountains, too!
1974 Movie Director Gordon Hessler took this really beautiful Cable Car as the role model for his movie "Skyway to death" , which made this location & the ATW famous worldwide...
Damn! Sound like a freaking school bus in there
Welcome to another popular tourist attraction.
Kevin Pippin we were all kids at some time.
@@madcrabber1113 Not all of us were incredibly annoying
Yes because u the annoying kid in that bus ,
Yeah! Are they always this chatty?
Ola Tim nice to travel vith you ! Thanks for such fantastic moments still waiting for you in Brazil your fan Helga and family
Hard to believe the same architect did the cable suspension for the
Golden Gate Bridge!
I did that hike in 2013. Cactus to clouds aka C2C Palm springs to San Jacinto. 15 miles. 10,000 feet of gain. Ass kicker!!! Took that tram back down.
had to go on this with my class, im deathly afraid of heights. I was freakin out but it was pretty sick.
tdstudd1996 I am terrified of heights also and first went on this while visiting my parents back in 1985. I was terrified but after I calmed myself down I just was amazed by how the towers were connected to the mountain and how it was constructed etc. When we went it was around 115 degrees but at the top it was in the 70s they said. Haven't been since helping my parents move from Palm Springs to Vegas back in 1989 but would love to go again.
tdstudd1996 -
Sounds horrible. Sorry you freaked out and got sick.
You got sick? Did you barf?
I didn’t know they had field trips for that place.
@@madcrabber1113 I, too, was fascinated by the construction and engineering. I believe I remember a film in a little theater up there that showed how it was built.
I've been up twice. Once during a snowstorm. Basically it was choked with snow up there that time. Without proper winter clothing and footwear, you're basically stuck inside. Forget about walking around outside.
I went all the way up there to buy a shirt...it was beautiful !
...when we left..we had accidentally left it at the resort.. in a plastic bag, by the door. It was a 2 hour drive away...
...oh well .
any updates for '22?
Beeeeeautiful.THANKS great frend Tims and great weekend and bless you.😀
I remember for New Year’s Day I went there going down the tramway got stuck and my family and I were in there!!!
My house in pal. Spring was rigth on the side of team way I miss the desert very bad I love palm springs .I use the entrance to work out Is safe and very clean city
Thanks for this video.
B
Someone needs to clean those windows..oopps, it's my screen😂
and that place is cool and nice
Coolest ride! I was like wwwooooooaaaaw!!!
Buenos paisajes
I am a cabin operator for the Sandia tram in Albuquerque New Mexico. If like to try this one. But I am the one giving the speech instead of a speaker.
I rode your tram eleven days later (ruclips.net/video/MmCLmEWskM0/видео.html). Fantastic experience.
I wish people can just shut up and enjoy a view.
You want actual living humans to be quiet in a group? LMAO.
THANK YOU. When i went people were screaming like it was a roller coaster and it didn’t help my anxiety
I wish people would just shut up and let people live their lives...
Have you ridden this? It isn’t for the faint of heart
Is it always that packed/loud???
one episode columbo short fuse been there great view
Went last week with a total of 6 people. Way too crowded and too expensive for what you get. The bus drivers both ways were very rude, complaining and actually yelling at passengers. Had to wait over 1.5 hours to get shuttled up to tram and took us 3 buses before we could get a ride to our car. With everyone pushing and shoving us out of the way. We had an elderly person with us and the walk down to the snow are is extremely steep and it is a long distance, so if you have handicapped or elderly be informed. It is too steep to push a chair also. Crammed in so that you couldn’t even move to enjoy the view on the tram itself. Once was enough for us
Sounds like a typical tourist trap. Same with Dizzyland. Hundreds of $ to get in (with a family) and hrs waiting in line for average rides and overpriced crappy food.
Ok Karen’s 😂
@@stephaniehoward7459 How original 🙄
Minutes 3:10 motorcycle on the right😍
Its weird that I went here at April 8 too but in 2022
Interesting. Is it hot inside the tram? I’m going in early July so it’ll be hot anyway, but all those people inside the tram, I’m thinking it’ll be pretty claustrophobic and uncomfortable🤔
Did you do it? How was it?
they earth equkes in this area a lot.
No we don't actually
Is the sway that bad?
My uncle is a cook in the restaurant up there, i grew up in the palm springs area. Im 34 yrs old.
well, he should be fired. The absolutely worst food, if you can call it that, ever is served in a "restaurant". My god, it was horrible. And this was after 5+ hour of hiking. People, bring your own lunch/dinner if you are going up there.
I like turtles
My uncle was a teacher, and I had another one who worked in a meat packing plant. I'm 42 years old.
Why have a narration people just cant shut up
Do bikers ride in the middle of the road everywhere?
The music that plays around in the tram, what is the name?
When was that booth at 1:54 built? I used to make that drive all the way to the lodge and park for free.
Wow I can't believe it $5 parking now
All good things come to an end.
I was just thinking the same exact thing, and, I was just there in Feb. 2018
8:42 huuuuuuuuu...
Just went there yesterday
great
Good
Hola y cuanto cobran por una vuelta
Cómo $35 por adulto pero no estoy seguro
How does a wire hold all that weight up?
It's magic.
It is a huge bundle of high strength steel made to last for years. The two motors do all the work. Simple but efficient. And amazing.
Eventually, they break.

@@mr99boxer30 there have been several accidents unfortunately where they broke
Wow I wish I knew about that when I visited.
yes dude but like how sfdh

I miss California
Joe, if you miss California, come on back, like he said, “CALIFORNIA GOLD”, until next time.......... have a blessed day......
I miss CA too; was born and raised there in SoCal. Even though I left there 32 years ago it still feels like I never left whenever I travel down there on vacation. But I can never go back. Can't afford it. Can't afford property values, can't afford the taxes. Not unless I want to live in the Owens Valley or Mojave Desert; and even then, on a retirement income the State would suck me dry. Unless and until voters and the people they elect get their heads out their collective ass, I'll never move back; and that breaks my heart.
@@veliagarcia3606 Yes, California is great. The ones who bash the state are just jealous and have nothing nice to say about anything.
@@josephalfonsoamantia7028 a lot of people can't afford to live there pendejo
Happy birthday
Amazing film :)
Can't help but think about those poor girl scouts in that bus accident back in 1991.
?
Yes, that was a terrible accident. I am a local Coachella Valley resident and still remember that
Yes, I was a paramedic then and knew the dispatchers that handled the incident - it was so very tragic.
Terry’s the man
Whats the price for a ride ?
$23.45 with AAA discount, plus $5.00 to park.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is to loud..

i want to take my dog up there wit me , can i?
1/2 or dim, Gracie?
I'M YOUR 1,000TH LIKE! :D
Screw that... I’m afraid of heights. No thanks.
Some people never shut up so this could be enjoyed. I don’t give two shits who’s sister did this or that…
would have been a nicer ride if people didnt talk incessantly the whole time-and just enjoy the view
I did this today, I was freaking out and there were moments where I had to close my eyes. Lol
People SHUT UP so others can hear the announcement!!!!!!
Busy talk, not so much please. Otherwise, great!
aww hell nah im ok
I wish all those people and kids would shut up so I can hear what they are saying how rude
Robin Farmer It is rude to say shut up “
It would be nicer if everyone could just shut the hell up on that thing so you could enjoy the ride.
I did it up there lol! 😛
U did what loco
@@momacaroni5634 sexo loco con loca!
Oh shit. Well Me next. Tell her I said was up
thats what you call a cheap ass and no self respect. ; )
maybe you can redo it with no kids so we can hear what they're saying about it all you hear is a bunch of bratty kids and no parents telling them to be quiet
