Perched at 5,506 feet, Beech Mountain, NC, is the ultimate winter playground for families! As the highest town in Eastern America, it serves up stunning views of snow-capped peaks and a perfect setting for a memorable getaway.

The festivities kicks-off on Saturday, November 29th with the Beech Mountain Holiday Market.

And it’s not all about shopping, bring the kids and enjoy holiday-themed activities like crafting with Mrs. Clause.

The Beech Mountain Resort offers a state-of-the-art tubing park and skiing and snowboarding on slopes tailored to every skill level. When it’s time to warm up, the Resort Village welcomes you with delicious dining and entertainment the whole family will enjoy.

The fun doesn’t stop there! The Town of Beech Mountain’s free Sledding Hill is a must-visit for kids 12 and under. And for families who love the great outdoors, Beech Mountain’s 27+ miles of hiking trails offer winter at its best. Wander through frosty forests, shimmering icy streams, and soak in views of snowy peaks blanketed in white. You may even run into a deer or two. 

Beech Mountain provides a wide array of dining choices ranging from barbecue to pizza, grilled cuisine and elevated dining. After dinner, take a leisurely evening stroll through the Trail of Lights. Come December, our greenway sparkles with lighted trees and holiday decorations. 

A day trip is not enough. Beech Mountain has accommodations to suit every group. Drawn to a charming condo in the heart of town, a large private home, or a secluded chalet? You’re sure to find the perfect home for your mountain holiday.
