Say the name "Ober Gatlinburg" and people immediately reply,
"Skiing." Granted, this is one of the southeast's greatest ski resorts
with miles of exhilarating slopes, snowboarding trails and more. But did
you know Ober Gatlinburg offers far more than snow-covered mountains?
In fact, you can have a blast at this Smoky Mountain attraction year
round.
Just some of the Smoky Mountain attractions and fun activities you can experience include:
Mountain Wildlife Encounter
Want to get up close and personal with some of the Smokies most
famous residents? At the Wildlife Encounter, black bears are a
guaranteed find. One stop allows you to view bears along with many other
local animals, including snakes, turtles, squirrels, raccoons, skunks
and otters swimming playfully in their natural habitat.
Ice Skating
Any time of year is great for ice skating at Ober Gatlinburg. Take
center stage in the midst of the mall while you glide across the rink.
Surrounded by stores that are all easily accessible from the ice arena,
you can keep an eye on your little skaters while you get some
much-needed retail therapy.
Alpine Slide
Looking for more manageable control of direction and speed? The
Alpine Slide answers your call. You can go fast if you wish, or slow
your sled to a comfortable speed with the built-in braking system. Each
track is 1,800 feet to allow a fun-filled treat as you weave along your
downhill path. Any season is great for the ride whether you want to
experience warm summer breezes or the briskness of the chilly winter
air.
Warm Weather Activities
No swimwear is required on Ober's Lightnin' Raft Ride and
Shoot-the-Chute because these are "dry-ride" adventures. A drop of 40
feet adds a big thrill to your fun and excitement. Prefer water sports?
The Blue Cyclone Rapids provide a thrill a minute through 600 feet of
water as you plunge 60 feet. Hold on to your raft as speeds can reach up
to 30 mph.
Fun for Kids of All Ages
You never lack for something to do at Ober Gatlinburg with exciting
indoor and outdoor activities year round. Whether you are on holiday or
just looking for a great getaway for a few hours, there's always
something new and interesting in Ober Gatlinburg, one of Smoky
Mountains' greatest attractions.
