72 Hours in Mount Washington

Day One

Afternoon

Welcome to New England’s legendary resort. Make your grand entrance up the winding drive to the Porte Cochère, where our friendly staff will help get you checked in and settled – and once you’re here, you can leave the driving to us with our complimentary shuttle service throughout the resort.

Upon arrival, we encourage you to confirm details of your stay with our associates, including dining and activity reservations.

Before the sun goes down, grab some Nordic skis or snowshoes and venture outdoors to explore some of our 100km trail network while enjoying amazing mountain views.

Evening

Relax with sunset snacks and cocktails at the Rosebrook Bar with spectacular mountain views – and maybe even an alpine glow – then head downstairs to Stickney’s Restaurant for a casual dinner, featuring prime cuts and regional favorites. After dinner, head over to The Cave, our authentic former Speakeasy featuring live music on select evenings and televised sporting events.

Before you call it a night, don’t forget to place your Select Guest complimentary morning beverage order tag on your door. Not a Select Guest yet? Sign up before arrival and start earning membership perks right away.

Day Two

Morning

Start your day in the newly renovated Main Dining Room with a delicious and hearty breakfast where friendly servers keep your coffee topped off while you enjoy freshly baked croissants, muffins and other baked goods, fresh fruits of the season and signature breakfast specialties. 

Then hit the slopes of Bretton Woods – NH’s largest ski area – with a variety of trails and glades for beginners and experts alike. Check out the new 8-passenger gondola, which makes the ride up almost as fun as the ride down. With consistently top-ranked Snow, Grooming and Scenery in New England according to SKI Magazine, there’s no better place to bring out your inner schusser.

Afternoon

After refueling at Switchback Grille, Crystal Hills or Peaks Coffee in the new Rosebrook Lodge, or back at the base at Slopeside Restaurant & Pub, head back out on the hill for some more runs, or plan a relaxing afternoon in The Spa, one of Boston Magazine’s Top 12 Spas in New England. Arrive early to get cozy with robes and comfy slippers before heading into the sauna and eucalyptus infused steam rooms, offered in both the ladies’ and men’s lounges. Reconvene for a couple’s duet massage, then relax together in the co-ed lounge where you can savor a light snack from The Spa cuisine menu. Finish up with a glowing facial or signature body treatment, or side-by-side pedicures. Please be sure to reserve your treatments well ahead of your arrival, as The Spa does often book up early.

Evening
Enjoy a fireside glass of wine or signature cocktail in the Great Hall then enjoy a lite dinner in Rosebrook Bar. Save room for dessert and wrap up the night by picking up a s’mores kit from Morsels and heading out to the fire pit to share tales of the day with fellow guests. If you’re feeling adventurous, take an after-dinner dip in our year-round heated outdoor pool!

Day Three

Morning

Start the morning off by picking up some freshly baked goods and specialty coffee in Morsels on-the-go. Explore the great outdoors that Mount Washington is famous for and zip through the trees on the year-round Canopy Tour, one of Yankee Magazine’s Unforgettable Guided Adventures. Be sure to reserve this popular winter activity well in advance of your visit, as they do often book up early.

Then hop on the Bretton Woods Skyway Gondola and enjoy lunch and world-class views at the Switchback Grille, located in the new Rosebrook Lodge.

Afternoon

Next up, download our self-guided historic tour and learn the rich and fascinating history of our National Historic Landmark.

After your tour, explore the resort’s unique shops and boutiques – from logo wear and sporting gear, to souvenirs and regional crafts, you’re sure to find the perfect reminder of your White Mountain visit.

Evening

Begin the last evening of your private getaway with a sunset carriage or sleigh ride followed by a truly memorable dining experience in the newly renovated Main Dining Room, a modern twist on a timeless classic. With its Tiffany-style stained glass accents and crystal chandeliers, it’s the perfect romantic setting for a quiet dinner and the finale to your memory making moments.

Day Four

Morning

Take it easy and sleep in with an order of room service before you check out. Make it stress-free and order your breakfast the night before – just make your selections on the hang tag and leave outside your door before you call it a night.
