Review of Jackson Hole Aerial Tram and Gondola RidesAfter the resort's legendary tram shut down in 2006, a new $25-million, 100-passenger tram opened for the 2008-09 ski season. From the top, you can see the Tetons from an elevation above 10,000 feet -- or 9,000 for the Bridger Gondola -- but don't expect a private tour. During busy summer days, the tram carries 45 passengers, packed in like the skiers that take the lift in the winter. The top of Rendezvous Mountain offers an incredible view; but it can get pretty chilly, even in the middle of summer, so bring a light coat. Atop the Bridger Gondola at 9,095 feet, two restaurants -- upscale Couloir and the Headwall Deli -- offer a place to eat before you head back down.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
