Teton Village isn’t just a ski base, in the warmer months it transforms into a vibrant mountain hub filled with outdoor adventure, music, and alpine charm. From wildflower hikes to concerts under the stars, there’s no shortage of things to do in Teton Village in summer. Whether you’re an adrenaline-seeker or someone who prefers to soak in the mountain atmosphere, the village offers something for every traveler.
And with Tammah Jackson Hole only 2 miles (about a 4-minute drive) away, you’ll have the perfect basecamp: close to the action but tucked into a quieter setting where you can truly unwind. Below, we’ve rounded up the very best Teton Village summer activities so you can make the most of your trip.
In just 12 minutes, the iconic Aerial Tram whisks you to over 10,000 feet, where panoramic views of the Tetons and Jackson Hole Valley stretch for miles. At the summit, enjoy short alpine hikes or try the famous waffles at Corbet’s Cabin — a staple for anyone searching for things to do in Teton Village in summer.
Pro Tip: Catch the first tram of the day for fewer crowds, softer morning light for photos, and a better chance to spot wildlife.
This guided climbing experience takes you along fixed iron rungs and cables on the granite walls above the village. It’s safe, exhilarating, and offers views you can’t get any other way.
Pro Tip: Book a morning tour to beat afternoon thunderstorms and enjoy cooler conditions.
From beginner-friendly flow trails to advanced freeride routes, the lift-served bike park has something for every rider. Rentals and lessons are available at the base area, making it one of the most popular Teton Village summer activities.
Pro Tip: Start your ride in the late morning once the trails have dried from any overnight rain — early mornings can sometimes be slick. If you’re new to downhill biking, book a lesson and stick to the green trails first before progressing.
Every summer from late June to August, Walk Festival Hall fills with the sounds of the Grand Teton Music Festival, widely considered one of the premier classical festivals in the country. The festival orchestra is composed of top talent from leading symphonies across the United States and abroad, brought together exclusively for this series. The result is an exceptional musical experience, often surpassing the best symphonies in major cities, all offered here in the unique setting of the Tetons.
Pro Tip: Attend a mid-week open rehearsal where you’ll get to enjoy a behind-the-scenes look as the conductor and orchestra rehearse for the weekend Festival Orchestra concerts.
Sunday evenings in the village come alive with free outdoor concerts featuring national and regional acts. Spread a blanket on the lawn, relax, and enjoy the mountain backdrop — a summer favorite for locals and visitors alike.
Pro Tip: Arrive early with a picnic or grab takeout from local eateries to make it a full evening event.
If you’re compiling a bucket list of things to do in Teton Village in summer, this alpine base area offers a perfect mix of high-energy adventure and laid-back mountain charm. The trick is to blend the well-known highlights with a few under-the-radar experiences most visitors miss.
One of those insider tips? Stay just outside the main hub. Being 2 miles (about a 4-minute drive) from the center of the village means you can easily join the action for first tram rides or evening concerts, while retreating to a peaceful setting at the end of the day. At Tammah Jackson Hole, you can relax in a unique geodome with sweeping mountain views, enjoy sunsets framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, and stargaze under some of the clearest skies in the country.
Tammah is close enough for spontaneous trips into the village, but far enough to feel like you’ve discovered your own mountain hideaway. Add it to your list right alongside the tram rides, summer music nights, and all the other things to do in Teton Village you don’t want to miss.
