ELEVATED VIEWS LIKE NEVER BEFORE

Ride the Lions Chair and Sky Chair to an elevation of 1,440m (4,720 feet), and enjoy breathtaking 360-degree panoramas of the Howe Sound, Vancouver Island, Vancouver City, North Shore mountains and beyond. Grab a snack at the Alpine Outpost at the top of Sky Chair or dinner at the base of the mountains at Crazy Raven Bar & Grill.

NEW Sunset Scenic Rides - extended hours

In August, every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday the Lions Chair and Sky Chair are open until 9:00PM so you can experience the highest lift-accessed sunset viewpoint in Vancouver. Take in the 360 views at the golden hour of sunset. Please dress for mountain conditions as it’s colder at the top and gets cooler as the sun sets.
