The Experience
Soar to new heights on a scenic adventure that allows you to experience the panorama of Juneau and the Inside Passage from 1,800 feet above the city. The Mountain Station houses the Chilkat Theater, Timberline Bar & Grill, Raven Eagle Gifts and impressive displays of Native artwork with Native artists often featured working on their art. As one of Juneau's most popular attractions, a tram ride to the top of Mount Roberts provides stunning photo opportunities and a chance to learn about the area's rich Native culture. Note: Tickets allow unlimited rides throughout the day and include viewing of the award winning Tlingit film "Seeing Daylight." Tram cars depart approximately every 10 minutes.

History
The concept for the Mount Roberts Tramway started in 1994 when Goldbelt entered a partnership with the Mount Roberts Development Corporation (MRDC). Construction started in August 1995 and began limited operation in August 1996. By spring of 1997 the tram was ready to open with full services including a 150-seat restaurant, 120-seat theatre featuring the award winning Seeing Daylight, retail space and an extensive trail system.

Goldbelt further committed itself to the tram in the spring of 1998 by entering negotiations with the MRDC to purchase its interest in the tram. On May 1, 1998 Goldbelt became the 100 percent owner of Mount Roberts Tramway and formed Goldbelt Aerial Tramway, Inc.

Today the Mount Roberts Tramway is one of the most visited attractions in Southeast Alaska carrying over 200,000 visitors each tour season. Goldbelt is committed to making this a valuable place for locals to visit frequently in addition to tourists. The full service restaurant has sumptuous menu selections including Alaska seafood and all you can eat fresh crab in season. Local musicians frequently share their talents on the mountain, including the Zahasky Family Band.

Artists regularly demonstrate their craft at the top of the tram in one of Juneau's most beautiful retail shops, Raven-Eagle Gifts.

In 2000 new viewing platforms were added to the extensive trail system along with new interpretive signs highlighting the unique flora, fauna and wildlife in the area. A traditional 30' totem pole carved by Stephen Jackson, son of Tlingit Master Carver Nathan Jackson, was erected in the harbor terminal
