Ikon Passholders: Save on Summer Kircliff Tickets
Kircliff observatory sits at 11,166 feet atop Big Sky's Lone Peak — the highest scenic overlook in Montana, offering a glass-enclosed view of the greater Yellowstone ecosystem, unlike anything else in the American West. Ikon passholders save $10 on tickets this summer.
Kircliff & the Lone Peak Tram
Discover Tram-accessed terrain that surpasses expectations—where your visit unlocks Montana's legendary cold smoke powder, bucket-list descents, and 300 degrees of skiing off the iconic Lone Peak.
Kircliff makes your trip to Big Sky the most memorable—experience the summit of Lone Peak and one of the West's most legendary views without a single step of hiking.
Tram and Kircliff access is not included on the Ikon Pass. Enable Autocharge on your account to pay per ride on the Lone Peak Tram.
