Scenic Charlift Rides

Now there is a way for Winter Park visitors to experience the majestic beauty of the Colorado Rockies without skis or snowboards. Hop on the Zephyr Express Chairlift after 11am daily and enjoy a scenic ride up to The Lodge at Sunspot for lunch. A 12-15 minute Zephyr Express chairlift ride will whisk you from the base area altitude of 9,000' elevation to the breathtaking Sunspot Summit at 10,700'.

Just imagine, now you non-skiers can take in the Colorado Rockies and meet the rest of your skiing and riding buddies for lunch at The Lodge at Sunspot! Wear warm clothes, appropriate snow footwear, hat, gloves and eye protection - and make sure to bring your camera!
