SkyBridge Michigan

A thrilling chairlift ride to the summit! Tickets are available for purchase online in advance. After purchase, you will receive two emails: a confirmation email and a "Print at Home Ticket" email with your QR access codes. These codes are scanned at the base of the chairlift and at the entrance of SkyBridge Michigan! You do NOT need to print the QR Codes. They can be scanned from your phone.

Once you arrive at Boyne Mountain Resort, follow the signs to our day parking lot on Cliff Dweller Drive.

Due to the dynamics of a suspension bridge, wheelchairs and other mobility equipment are not permitted on Skybridge Michigan. Guests who are required to use wheelchairs or other mobility equipment (including walkers and crutches) may purchase a scenic lift ticket to view SkyBridge Michigan from the SkyBridge Loop, located at the top of the mountain.

During the summer operating season (generally May through October), the summit of Boyne Mountain is accessible to guests with disabilities via the Hemlock and/or Express lifts if the guest is able to stand to load onto and off of the lift's chair. Upon request, the chairlift can be slowed down or stopped for loading and unloading. However, wheelchairs and other mobility equipment are not permitted on the chairlift and may be checked at the base of the lift. A limited number of wheelchairs are available, without charge, near the unload area at the top of each lift.

Dogs are allowed on SkyBridge Michigan as long as they can be carried across the bridge.

Due to safety and privacy concerns, Boyne Mountain prohibits the operation of unmanned aerial systems, or drones, on or above resort property without prior written authorization from Boyne Mountain.

Strollers are not permitted on lifts or SkyBridge Michigan.

SkyBridge Michigan is designed for pedestrian, foot traffic only.

The towers are constructed of wood timbers, sourced from Matelski Lumber right here in Boyne Falls, (glulams with 10x10 internal bracing), the main cable is galvanized steel, and the walking surface is steel framing with pultruded grating deck.

Our good friends at Experiential Resources (ERi) - they also designed and installed the Gatlinburg SkyBridge in Tennessee. Todd Domeck is the incredible designer and ERi is working to construct the bridge at the summit of Boyne Mountain as we speak. Check out the live webcam! 

The maximum allowable wind speed during bridge operation is 35mph. Our team monitors wind speed closely and will close the bridge during a high wind event. If either lightning or thunder is present within a 15-mile radius of the site, SkyBridge Michigan must not operate or must be evacuated. SkyBridge Michigan is able to operate during precipitation as long as visibility is adequate and walking surfaces are clear.
