Two Years, Two Lifts

At The Highlands, innovation meets tradition as we enter an exciting new chapter. With two new lifts - Camelot 6 and the Interconnect - we are redefining what it means to ski and ride in northern Michigan. These upgrades bring not only cutting-edge technology but also enhanced access, comfort, and family-friendly features that elevate the mountain experience for everyone.

Interconnect: New Doppelmayr Triple Lift

This latest addition provides faster, easier access to the North Peak region’s intermediate and family-friendly terrain. Here’s what makes it special:

• A quicker ascent, cutting lift time by a third so you can enjoy more runs.
• Direct access to 14 runs, designed for intermediate skiers and riders exploring the scenic northern end of our slopes.
• Modern conveniences, including RFID gates for seamless direct-to-lift access and a height-adjustable loading carpet tailored for children and adaptive riders.
• Comfort and safety features, with bench-style seating, safety bars, and footrests for all ages.

Interconnect makes skiing and snowboarding more accessible and enjoyable for everyone, creating a smoother, more efficient way to explore the northern terrain. Whether visiting with family or tackling new runs, this lift enhances your day on the mountain.

Camelot 6: The Fastest Lift in the Midwest (p.s. it’s warm too!)

Opened in December 2023, this six-person, high-speed Doppelmayr D-Line bubble chairlift offers:

• Heated, extra-wide seats with ergonomic design and individual footrests for maximum comfort.
• A weatherproof tinted bubble keeps riders warm and protected from the elements.
• Unmatched safety features, including fully automatic safety bars with auto-locking and height-adjustable loading carpet conveyors, ensure a smooth and secure ride for all ages.
• Speed and efficiency, whisking you to the top of Upper Camelot in just three minutes at 6m/s.
• Room for 6.

This revolutionary lift replaced three older lifts—Camelot, Valley, and MacGully—streamlining access to a variety of scenic terrain on the southern end of our slopes. Whether you are a beginner gaining confidence on the newly regraded Camelot run or an expert looking to maximize your time on the mountain, Camelot 6 transforms your day on the snow.

Experience the Future of The Highlands

With Camelot 6 and Interconnect now open, the future of skiing and snowboarding at The Highlands is here. These lifts represent our commitment to you—our guests and community. We can not wait to welcome you to the slopes, where cutting-edge technology meets the warm, family-friendly vibe that makes The Highlands home.
