1 Best Sight in Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Ober Mountain

Generations of visitors have ridden the 120-passenger tramway up the 2.1-mile ascent to Ober Mountain, a ski resort in winter and amusement park in summer. Attractions include indoor ice skating, bumper cars, and a small zoo featuring black bears, bobcats, and otters. In warm weather there are waterslides, a roller coaster, and daily live bluegrass music. Even when the crowds are heaviest, there's plenty to do at the restaurants and shops "up top."   The attraction changed hands in 2022, rebranding to Ober Mountain, and upgrades to the attractions are underway.
