About Skybridge
The Gatlinburg SkyBridge consistently delivers an exhilarating experience that visitors describe as breathtaking and worth the trip. The chairlift ride up offers scenic views of town below, while the suspension bridge itself provides just enough thrill—especially at the glass-panel section in the middle where brave souls lie down for photos. While some visitors admit to a bit of nervousness on the crossing, the consensus is that it's manageable even for those with mild height concerns, and the views make any jitters worthwhile.
