SCENIC CHAIRLIFT RIDE & HIKING

SCENIC CHAIRLIFT RIDE & HIKING* | RESERVE NOW HERE

Update: With the development project on the horizon, we have decided not to offer daily summer activities in summer 2026. Scenic chairlift rides, however, will be available for group bookings of 50 people or more. Please contact group sales at westmountain.com today for booking. Daily activities will return in the near future.

Description: Take a scenic chairlift ride to the top of West Mountain, and enjoy stunning views of the Adirondack and Vermont Mountains, and the Hudson River Valley region--Open Only for Groups in Summer 2026. A scenic lift ride is the perfect way to get a birds-eye view of the surrounding area. Relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of Mother Nature as you gracefully soar to the peak of West Mountain. Once you arrive at the top, try hiking on the mixed-use cross-country trails including the “Crow’s Nest” trail that will take you to West Mountain’s Beautiful Scenic Hudson River Valley Overlook.

We also suggest stopping for a picnic at one of our many picnic locations (Picnic packages (which include the scenic chairlift ride). Hikers can then take the chairlift back down to the base area or follow the “Slideshow” trail down the mountain to the Base Lodge. Hikers are welcome to hike on the regular ski trails with their access band.
