Can I buy tickets when I arrive?

Yes, you can usually buy Sunshine Village Sightseeing tickets when you arrive at the base area, provided tickets are still available for that day. A ticket office is located at the gondola base, where visitors can purchase sightseeing admission before boarding.

However, buying tickets on arrival does not guarantee availability. During the peak summer season, particularly in July and August, as well as on weekends and holiday periods, the sightseeing gondola can be very popular. On busy days, tickets may be limited or sell out, especially when the weather is clear.

If your travel plans are flexible and you're visiting during a quieter weekday, purchasing tickets on arrival is often a convenient option. If you're visiting during peak travel times or have a tight itinerary, booking in advance is the better choice to avoid disappointment and ensure you can visit on your preferred day.

Arriving early in the day can also improve your chances of obtaining tickets if you plan to purchase them at the resort. It gives you more time to enjoy the mountain and helps you avoid the busiest periods later in the day.
