Summer Fun for Everyone
Scenic Lift Rides
Open Daily 9am-4:30, weather permitting
Closing September 17th (end of day).
Relax and enjoy the beautiful Taos Ski Valley scenery from Lift 1, located at the resort base area. Once at the top, enjoy views of Wheeler Peak and surrounding mountains. Hike down or ride the lift back down, bring a layer and enjoy the ride.
There are several picnic tables at the top of the lift, offering a great spot to bring your sack lunch. The Whistlestop Café will be open. This is the perfect opportunity to view the mountain in its splendor, take photos and enjoy the wildlife that inhabit the area.

Taos Bike Park
CLOSED FOR THE 2023 SUMMER SEASON. Due to construction on Lift 4, lift-served mountain biking will not be available at TAOS this summer. However, there are plenty of options for a thrilling and challenging day of uphill access mountain biking.
For uphill mountain biking, we recommend enlisting the help of one of our trusty e-bikes. Plus, if you’re looking for a more relaxing day at the ski valley, e-bikes are a perfect way to explore. Start at Taos Sports and bike up the Rubezahl Trail to The Bavarian to enjoy a beverage and a bratwurst! Mountain bikes and e-bikes are available to rent at Taos Sports all summer! For more uphill information and maps.
The Taos Bike Park has a variety of exciting downhill mountain bike tracks served by Lift 4. Enjoy this exciting bike ride experience in the amazing scenery of the mountains with the whole family. Whether you’re a novice biker or an experienced rider, Taos offers an experience for all levels – all you have to do is choose your spice level. Built by Gravity Logic, out of Whistler, BC, with the help of the Taos Bike Park Crew.
