Missoula, MT, October 5, 2026 — Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality has put forth a proposal for a new tramway project that would extend into the Flathead National Forest. The proposed attraction would ascend Columbia Mountain, beginning its route from the area of Hungry Horse.
The company aims for the tramway to serve as a year-round attraction, offering visitors access to the mountainous terrain. According to the proposal, each tram cabin would be designed to carry up to 100 passengers. The ascent is planned to cover approximately 3,000 vertical feet, with a station designated near the mountain’s summit.
The proposal is currently undergoing a screening process by the Forest Service. This evaluation is intended to determine the public need for such a facility and to assess the capacity of Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality to effectively operate the proposed tramway.
