Okanagan Gondola will be off the ground after breaking ground on the project near Kalamalka Lake.
Ridge North America, along with officials from the Regional District of North Okanagan, held a ground-breaking ceremony in the hills above the lake July 10, marking the start of construction at the gondola’s summit station and base area.
“The Okanagan Gondola will offer breathtaking views, immersive trails, and elevated dining designed for all ages,” said Rupert Harper, general manager of Okanagan Gondola with Ridge North America.
“This is an exciting milestone for our team and our partners. We’re looking forward to building an experience that celebrates the landscape and spirit of the Okanagan region.”
The project near Bailey Road will complement Vernon’s existing tourism offerings and contribute to the area’s growing appeal as a destination for outdoor and cultural experiences.
“This project has the unique characteristic of creating something truly special for both residents and visitors,” said David McKenna, Ridge North America president. “It’s rewarding to be part of something that connects people to the outdoors in such a meaningful way.”
