Hell's Gate Airtram is a popular tourist attraction located in the Fraser Canyon region of British Columbia, Canada. The airtram takes visitors on a scenic ride over the Fraser River, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and canyons. The airtram travels over Hell's Gate, which is a narrow gorge on the Fraser River that is known for its strong and turbulent currents. The Hell's Gate Airtram is one of the steepest in North America and is a unique experience for those looking for an adventure.
Visitors can also explore the Hell's Gate visitor center, which offers a range of exhibits on the geology, history, and culture of the Fraser Canyon region. There are also several outdoor activities available, such as gold panning, a suspension bridge, and walking trails. The site also has a restaurant and gift shop.
The Hell's Gate Airtram operates seasonally, typically from late April to mid-October, and is open daily during that time. The airtram is wheelchair accessible, and visitors are advised to wear comfortable shoes and dress in layers as temperatures can vary depending on the time of day and weather conditions.
The Fraser Canyon is traversed by the Hells Gate Airtram, an aerial tramway, directly above Hells Gate. It begins at a parking lot along the Trans-Canada Highway and descends to its lower terminus on the opposite side of the canyon, where there is an observation deck, a restaurant, a gift shop, and other tourist attractions.

The future of the historical landmark Hell's Gate depends on a massive undertaking to restore the waterway for the famed Fraser River Salmon run. 25 passengers and one operator are transported in total luxury and safety by airtram to the opposing banks of the powerful, rushing Fraser River.
In 1808, explorer Simon Fraser wrote in his notebook, "This was a location where no human being should venture," which is the earliest written account of hell's gate.
The informative exhibitions and displays at the lower terminal will enthral fans of history and nature. When you pan for gold on the Fraser River, you can even "strike it rich."
We'll give you an update once they reopen.
