Summer in Teton Village 2007
(Teton Village, Wyo. Spring 2007) Teton Village is a relaxed, resort setting just one mile from Grand Teton National Park. Surrounded by open space and huge granite mountains, it offers unbeatable views of the mountains and valley from the Bridger Gondola, heart pumping activities, western adventures, a resident summer symphony, weekend events and incredible spa, dining and hotel choices.
Kids never want to leave - why? Just show them the bungee jumping trampoline, climbing wall, fully stocked trout pond, frisbee golf, gurgling streams to play in, and plentiful ice-cream!
Plan your day to include hiking, mountain biking, climbing, fishing, tandem paragliding and that's just before lunch or even easier, hire an Adventure Guide for the day. Ride the Bridger Gondola up nearly 3000 vertical feet to experience breathtaking views of Jackson Hole and the surrounding mountains. Kick back with a refreshing latte, lunch or a special dinner at the newly constructed Headwall Deli or Couloir Fine Dining Restaurant at the top of the Gondola, then cruise down either by foot or Gondola for a session in the spa.
For guest convenience, activity multi-tickets can be purchased along with all day lift access passes.

For the first time Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is operating the Bridger Gondola, which rises 2,800 vertical feet to its top station at 9,095 feet. In eight minutes you can leave the valley riding high above Bridger Teton National Forest and enter a high-alpine, tundra setting. The Gondola provides quick access for sightseeing, hiking, paragliding, rock climbing and backpacking with incredible views of Jackson Hole and Grand Teton NP. Eagle eyed visitors keep a look out for moose, elk, bear and small mammals who all call the slopes of JHMR home.
Seven miles of singletrack augmented with a dual-track system offer 15 different technical mountain bike trails. Teewinot Chairlift provides uphill loading for those looking for a lift and the skill building terrain park is fun for all levels. Expert riders can make it to the upper mountain or for a more leisurely pace, ride the Moose-Wilson Pathway directly into Grand Teton National Park. Full suspension, hybrid, kids bikes, bike trailers and road bikes are available to rent at Jackson Hole Sports.
