Winter Itinerary
Winter Trip Ideas #1:
Ski the White Mountains
Winter is prime season for ski mountains in the Western White Mountains. Come visit and enjoy everything this region has to offer. We’re not just known for our ski and snowboarding! Enjoy winter sports for all ages, including snow tubing, winter ziplines, ice skating, and snowshoeing!
Winter Trip Ideas #2: Snowshoeing and Hot Cocoa
This is a great trip idea for people who love the outdoors but aren’t necessarily into skiing or snowboarding. Check out the many tour companies in the area to show you some of the best snowshoeing spots in the White Mountains! In the winter, Alpine Adventures offers snowshoeing daytime tours and limited full moon tours. This includes a 20 minute off road tour and about one hour of snowshoeing with supplies included in the tour package. Alpine Adventures also has a moonlight snowshoeing tour in the wintertime every full moon, which means space is extremely limited. Book ahead and enjoy a tour in the moonlight, followed by hot cocoa in a fire heated tree hut.
Winter Trip Ideas #3: Cross Country Skiing
At Loon Mountain, you’ll discover a peaceful system of Nordic trails that wind alongside the Pemigewasset River and ascend through wooded areas on historic logging paths. The trail network is open to all guests and visitors. Please note that parking is limited, so plan accordingly. Owl’s Nest Resort also offers cross country skiing on their stunning 18-hole golf course, great for any amount of experience. Make sure you follow the signs and stay within the marked areas so as not to disrupt the greens. Or head to the Franconia Inn. Visit their X-C Ski Center and enjoy 30 km of groomed trails. As you ski through the woods and across rivers, you’ll be treated to stunning winter vistas. Their trails cater to all skill levels, from beginners to advanced. Plus, a complimentary winter activity pass is included with every room reservation!
