Modernizing Sandia Peak Arial Tramway

Sandia Peak Tram is excited to announce that we will be updating and upgrading our current drive and control system.  The current system has served us well since 1966 but it is time for a modernized, automated and more energy-efficient system. In addition to the controls, we will be renovating the Lower and Upper Terminal’s Tram Consoles, the drive and control room and adding solar-powered cameras and weather stations on Towers 1 & 2.
