This is perhaps one of the best known views of Ober Gatlinburg, a magical look at the Aerial Tramway making its way up the frosted mountain. The enclosed tram car will take you straight from downtown to the heart of the resort.
Ober Gatlinburg offers a series of snow sporting experiences from the Alpine slide on-site, ice skating, and its mountain coaster experience. Of course, it's the ice bumper cars that really make an impact on the youngest of visitors.
The ice bumper cars may just be the most quirky and talked about activity at Ober Gatlinburg. It's a fun, safe twist on the classic carnival activity, allowing visitors to ride around an ice rink and bump into other guests. All in good fun, of course.
The activity is completely safe and a mere $8 per person for a ride. The multi-colored cars are fun to watch spin around the ice, and the activity is also included in the Ober Gatlinburg premium wristband price.
Fun fact? The ice bumper cars share a rink with the ice skaters. That's how MASSIVE the Ober Gatlinburg ice rink is. How neat is that? Not only will you be able to have fun with your friends on the icy-bound bumper cars, but you can indulge in a little ice skating afterward. So fun!
If bumper cars aren't your jam, there's still all sorts of opportunities at Ober Gatlinburg for fun. There are even skiing and snowboarding lessons if you're looking to drill down into your winter athleticism, and the Alpine Coaster (pictured) is a blast.
