Eastern America’s Highest Town
High atop the Blue Ridge Mountains, Beech Mountain, NC is a vacation destination for all seasons.
Winter is a nature lovers wonderland. Ski Beech Resort features 15 slopes on 95 acres of akiable area with state-of-the-art snow making equipment. A tubing run and two free-style terrain parks let you pick the best option for your skill.
Top off your winter activities with skating in our 7,00 foot ice skating rink and let the kids sled for free on sledding hill (next to Town Hall).
In the fall, hillsides are draped in bright hues of orange, yellow and red -- a scene so admired that it attracts nature lovers from across the country. Fall also features the Autumn at Oz Party. This yearly festival celebrating the Wizard of Oz brings visitors from all around. Dress up as your favorite character or just take a trip down the yellow brick road.
Every summer, our lakes, streams, hillsides, and mountaintops welcome avid fishermen, hikers, mountain bikers, golfers, and wildlife explorers. Perhaps they're attracted to our mild summer temperatures -- which rarely exceed 73 degrees, even on the hottest day of the year.
Nearby attractions include Grandfather Mountain, Tweetsie Railroad and shopping in Boone or Banner Elk.
Come up, stay on the mountain and enjoy the entire region.
Group Travel
Planning a wedding, reunion, church outing, or an annual family get-together? Beech Mountain is perfect for group outings, offering the unique opportunity for close-knit activities on top of the highest mountain in Eastern America.
Where else could you hold a reunion in front of a four-state backdrop? Or tie the knot at more than a mile above sea level?
Whether you’re part of a group of five or 50, planning a group outing on Beech Mountain is easier than you might think:
- You don’t have to worry about lodging choices. You can rent homes for individual families, or check out a more spacious home for a larger group.
- You’ll never be at a loss for group activities. Try a group hiking adventure, or explore some of North Carolina’s mile-high mountain biking trails. Our Buckeye Recreation Center offers the chance for family games of basketball, tennis or volleyball.
- For the memory of a lifetime, hit the slopes for a group ski trip. We offer the south's only high speed lift. We have group discounts on meals, lift tickets, ski rentals, and instruction.
Our Chamber of Commerce office can help you schedule, plan, and organize your trip, and can assist with discounts to accommodate your budget. Call us in advance: 800-468-5506.
