Sandia Peak Tramway

Aerial cableway in Albuquerque lifting passengers to the crest of the Sandia Mountains, offering breathtaking panoramic views.

Tips from the community

Cruise 10,378-feet in the air on the Sandia Peak Tramway: the world’s third longest single-span tram. The ride up takes 15 minutes and offers unbeatable views of the Sandia Mountains and city below. Once at the peak, enjoy 35 ski trails, 100 hiking trails, and an elevated dining experience at Ten3. That’s right, that sh*t is fully-stocked with adult bevs and local eats at almost 11,000-feet. Pro tip: book tram tickets at least an hour before sunset to score a prime spot on the deck. Honorable Mentions: Santa Fe Opera House, Santa Rosa Blue Hole, Shiprock, Sawmill Market, Steel Bender Brewyard, Santa Fe Brewing Company

Take your love to another level – 10,378-feet to be exact – as you step aboard the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway in Albuquerque, New Mexico. During the 15-minute journey, you’ll travel 2.7 miles up the Sandia Mountains to an elevation of 10,378 feet. Disembark to admire the views, hike, dine at the TEN 3 restaurant, and ski in the winter before taking a return tram ride for panoramic views you won’t soon forget. This is one of the best things to do in New Mexico.

I love this tram experience!! You get amazing views of Rio Grande Valley and none of the physical exhaustion, lol. Folks ski here in the winter, and in the summer its full of mountain bikers and hikers.

    I'm headed to New Mexico in December and am planning a totally solo, COVID-safe getaway with my pup Fiona. We snagged a casita between Santa Fe & Taos and plan to hit all the best hikes within reach. Food stops are for take-out only, national parks will be visited on off-days, and museums will have to be saved for the next trip (RIP Meow Wolf).
