Scenic Chairlift Rides

Beautiful Views

The “Sarajevo Express” chairlift (a high-speed quad lift), transports guests to the top of the Giants Ridge mountain where they may enjoy majestic views of the Superior National Forest and surrounding area. The view from the Giants Ridge mountain is truly one of the Iron Range’s hidden gems and creates a whole new Giants Ridge experience for guests.

From the top of the chairlift, guests have access to:

  • Ridgeview Overlook Walking Trail (0.3 miles)
  • Wynne Lake Vista Trail (0.8 miles)

All scenic chairlift participants must sign an waiver in person. Participants under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian complete the waiver for them.

Scenic Chairlift Rides are available until one hour prior to the Lift Closing

Adults $10 | Child $5
