Scenic Chairlift Rides

2025 SUMMER SEASON | COMING SOON

WEATHER PERMITTING

2024

Enjoy Angel Fire and the Moreno Valley like never before. Take in the beautiful mountain views as our scenic chairlift takes you to the mountain summit at 10,677 feet. Once at the top, you can enjoy disc golf and hiking, and enjoy lunch with a view from the Summit Haus.

When you are ready to head back, you have the option of either hiking down or riding the chairlift back to the base area. The views on the way down allow you to see the entire valley, Wheeler Peak, and Eagle Nest Lake State Park.

While at the summit you can enjoy:

• Disc Golf
• Our scenic hiking trails
• Summit Haus

Tickets may be purchased at the Ticket Office, located at the base of the mountain. For questions, call 575-377-4499.

Lightning Policy

During monsoon season thunderstorms with lightning are likely to occur every afternoon. When we experience lightning, this is what happens with the chairlift:

• A strike within 30 miles means we pay close attention to the radar
• A strike within 20 miles means that we stop allowing foot passengers to load the chairlift at the bottom until we have had no strikes for 30 minutes (mountain bikers can continue to load because they do not rely on the chairlift to get back down the mountain)
• A strike within 10 miles means that the chairlift closes to all passengers and is turned off until we have had no strikes for 30 minutes (if you are a foot passenger and you are at the top of the mountain when this happens, you will have to wait for up to two hours for a shuttle or for the lift to resume running after lightning hold)
