Mark your calendars! Okanagan Gondola will officially welcome its first guests on April 2, 2027, inviting you to discover the North Okanagan from a whole new perspective.

Your adventure begins with an eight-minute gondola ride above the rocky slopes of Ellison Ridge, where sweeping views of Kalamalka Lake and the surrounding valley await. At the summit, take your time exploring scenic walking trails, discovering hidden viewpoints and learning about the landscape through interpretive experiences. Or simply find your favourite spot to soak it all in.

And there's more to savour than the view. Enjoy fresh, locally inspired flavours at our casual dining spots or settle in for an elevated dining experience at Lumera, our signature mountaintop restaurant. With seasonal events, opportunities to explore and plenty of reasons to linger, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Ready to experience it for yourself? General Admission tickets and Annual Membership Passes are now on sale! Your admission includes the round-trip gondola ride and access to summit trails, viewpoints and interpretive experiences.

Want to come back for more? An Annual Membership gives you unlimited visits throughout the year, plus exclusive member events, dining and retail savings, and discounts for friends and family.

For a limited time, save 30% on Annual Membership Passes when you purchase before May 31, 2027.

We can't wait to welcome you at the top!
