The Gatlinburg SkyBridge is North America's longest pedestrian suspension bridge and has been honored as the "Attraction of the Year" in Tennessee. Located in the Gatlinburg SkyLift Park, vacation memories have been here since 1954.

If you're looking to experience the radical views and expansive beauty for yourself, you'll take a scenic chairlift from downtown Gatlinburg, up Crockett Mountain, to the stunning mountaintop deck. Beautiful views await in the daytime, and the twinkling lights of the city below make a nighttime view just as stunning.

During the holiday season, Gatlinburg SkyBridge hosts the "Lights Over Gatlinburg" event. Open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. from November 5th to January 31st, this ticketed event is back and bigger than ever. In 2022 they have been hard at work adding 20,000 new light bulbs and 10 new dancing Christmas trees. This year they will also have the new SkyTrail, which will include tons of new vantage points for great pictures and to witness the beauty of the SkyBridge.

Come ready to experience Skylift Park all lit up with over 40,000 lights on display. The SkyBridge transforms into a 300-foot holiday tunnel, and the 30-foot Christmas tree atop the mountain is animated to the sound of seasonal tunes.

It's a magical experience that takes you high above the valley below and into a haven of holiday cheer. Make sure you bring a jacket and a heart honed for the season. Gatlinburg SkyBridge is an underrated Christmas gem that can't be missed!

Tickets to the Gatlinburg SkyLift Park can be bought ahead of time.

A fantastic view of Tennessee is always magical, but come the holiday season it's downright indulgent. Is there anywhere more beautiful than the Volunteer State? It's doubtful. Don't miss out on this magical experience!
