Summer Scenic chairlift rides
Hop on the Great Escape Quad and take a scenic ride to the top of Schweitzer! Along the way, take in sweeping views of Lake Pend Oreille, fields of wildflowers and maybe even spot some local wildlife like moose, deer, or bear. Once you reach the summit, enjoy a delicious lunch at Sky House, play 9-holes of disc golf, or just enjoy a stroll on Stewart's Loop. Ready to head back down? Take a ride down the Great Escape Quad or hike down the Nature Trail, a 3-mile rugged downhill path that leads right to Schweitzer's Village.

The Great Escape Quad chairlift will be open daily during our summer season (June 13 - September 7) from 11:00am - 5:00pm, weather permitting. Does not include mountain bike hauls. If you'd like to purchase a mountain bike lift ticket, please visit our Mountain Biking page.

Be sure to fill out your 2026 summer waiver before your visit!
