Scenic Chairlift Rides

SUMMER SEASON | MAY 19 – OCT 29, 2023
(Closed Sep 8- Sep 10 for maintenance)

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, or we recommend bringing a to-go order from El Jefe or The Lift Cafe and enjoying 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:
