The Ski Resort

The Bretton Woods Ski School offers a variety of programs and packages that will certainly meet any needs. Group lessons are available for adults and teens (13+); lessons and for Private and Semi-Private lessons we can accommodate a wide range of ages. For kids ages 4-12, the Hobbit Ski & Snowboard Programs at Bretton Woods are designed to introduce children to the fun of winter snow sports.
However, Bretton Woods is more than just ski and ride.Guests of all ages can enjoy a wide array of outdoor activities in the majestic White Mountains, including sleigh rides, skating, tubing and more. Or for the ultimate winter thrill, try a Guided Adventure of the Bretton Woods Canopy Tour- a high-flying experience in the trees and above the slopes.
The resort is home to a 25,000-square-foot spa that brings the outdoors inside to treatment rooms with sweeping views of Mount Washington, the Presidential Range and Crawford Notch. Our Signature treatments feature custom Mountain Mist products rich with traditional New England botanicals that have been used for centuries to soothe sore muscles, smooth and protect the skin and reduce inflammation.
Across the grounds of the historic Mount Washington Resort and the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire, the Bretton Woods Nordic Center is one of the largest cross country ski areas on the East Coast. The 100 kilometer trail network crosses open fields, meanders through woods of spruce and fir, passes beaver ponds and mountain streams, and traverses open hardwood stands. Come for classical and skate skiing as well as snowshoeing on trails prepared with our state-of-the-art grooming tools.
