LITTLETON CHEVROLET SPOTLIGHTS CANNON MOUNTAIN…An Era Ends, A New One Begins.

Get ready for a major moment in White Mountains history!

This fall marks the final season for the iconic, second-generation Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway (affectionately known for its “ketchup and mustard” cars!) before it officially retires to make way for a state-of-the-art replacement!

A Look Back at a Legend:

• The history here is massive: Cannon Mountain launched the first passenger aerial tramway in North America in 1938, paving the way for the ski industry and tourism in New Hampshire.
• The current tram, which opened in 1980, has been a beloved fixture for 45 years, carrying over nine million passengers to the 4,080-foot summit! It’s an integral piece of the Franconia Notch experience.

The Next Chapter:

• Following the end of the 2025 foliage season, the tram will close as planning for a third-generation tram system begins. Cannon will be the only mountain in North America to reach a third-generation tram!
• While service will be paused during construction (likely for a few years), this investment ensures the tram’s legacy continues with a modern, safe, and efficient system for future generations.

Last Call for a Classic Ride!

• The final day of public operation for the current tram is scheduled for Sunday, October 26th!
• We encourage everyone to book your tickets ASAP for one last chance to ride this piece of history and take in the spectacular fall foliage views from the summit.
