About Bretton Woods
Bretton Woods in the heart of the White Mountains of New Hampshire is defined as much by the iconic Omni Mount Washington Hotel — a 1902 grand hotel and National Historic Landmark visible from across the resort — as by its skiing, though its 464 skiable acres of predominantly intermediate terrain are well suited to families and intermediate skiers seeking a relaxed, scenic New England ski experience. New Hampshire's largest ski area by trail count spreads across a southeast-facing hillside that catches morning sun and holds snow well through the day, with the adjacent Nordic skiing centre offering 100km of groomed cross-country trails that make Bretton Woods a genuinely two-discipline destination. The combination of historic grandeur at the base hotel, reliable snowmaking, and a mountain that never threatens or intimidates makes it an especially strong choice for first-time families.
