Hunter Mountain Scenic Skyride

Take in sweeping mountain views and breathtaking fall foliage without breaking a sweat aboard the Hunter Mountain Scenic Skyride. This scenic chairlift ride carries visitors high above the slopes of Hunter Mountain, revealing panoramic views of the Catskills stretching in every direction. 

 

Operating in the summer and fall, the Skyride transforms the ski mountain into a laid-back sightseeing adventure perfect for families, couples, photographers, leaf peepers, and anyone looking to experience the mountains from a new perspective. As the lift ascends, panoramic views unfold in every direction, creating a peaceful, open-air journey to the summit. In autumn, the Skyride is one of the best ways to experience fall foliage, with the Catskills glowing in shades of red, orange, and gold.

 

At the top, visitors can hop off and relax, take in the summit scenery, enjoy mountain air at elevation, or connect to various hiking trails to explore further.–including the 4-mile round trip hike to the Hunter Fire Tower and back.
