Take a hike in the Green Mountains

Hikers can enjoy a spirited ascent of the 3,600-foot Mount Snow peak with over 1,600 feet of vertical rise, or take a somewhat less aerobically intense walk on the Deerfield Valley Trail. There's plenty of meandering loops to the summit with our complimentary pocket guide to the mountain. Hikers at Mount Snow have access to more than 20 miles of trails through the Green Mountain National Forest on and around the mountain, with terrain for various abilities.

Or take a chairlift up to the summit and descend the mountain at your own pace. Your efforts will be rewarded with magnificent views of southern New England and New York State.

All self-guided hikes utilize the resort's expansive trail system on the Main and Carinthia mountain faces. The Ridge Trail is a favorite among hikers for its dynamic 2.5-mile trek that links the peaks of Mount Snow and Haystack.

The Hiking Center, located at the Grand Summit Resort Hotel provides trail maps, hiking boots, backpacks, hydration systems and all the gear needed for the ultimate hiking experience.

Please, no dogs allowed.

All hikers must check in at the hiking center prior to heading out on the trail system. Call 802-464-4040 for more information.
