What to Know about the Gatlinburg Attraction

As previously stated, Ober is open year-round and features endless activities and attractions. When planning your visit, be sure to check to see what things to do are included with your wristband and which require additional reservations.
- Ride up the Magic Carpet to go flying down the 350-foot tubing hill. Sessions are about 90 minutes long.
- Take in incredible views on a thrilling zipline ride. There are two different tours, which actually take place in nearby Hartford and not at Ober.
- Another way to take in the views right at the mountain is the scenic chairlift. Ticket sales for the ride close 30 minutes before park closing time.
- Ober is one of the top places in the Gatlinburg area to go skiing and snowboarding. Keep in mind, your ski area ticket does not include rental equipment.
