Want To Ride The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Christmas Week? Schedule

PALM SPRINGS, CA — The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway will operate on a modified schedule for the holidays starting Saturday and continuing through the new year.

From Saturday to Jan. 7, the first tram up will be at 8 a.m. and the last tram down will be at 9:30 p.m., according to Tramway public relations manager Madison Morgan. Tram cars depart at least every 30 minutes.

In addition to the extended hours, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Christmas and New Year days, visitors will have an opportunity to "Ride 'n' Dine" with tickets that include Tram admission and dinner at Pines Cafe, Morgan said. On those same days starting at 11 a.m., Peaks Restaurant will serve special holiday dining menus.

Holiday festivities such as a tree-lighting event, events with Santa Claus and choir performances were held earlier in the month.
