Winter’s Wonderland

Escape to a winter of wondrous nature and extraordinary culture in the northern Berkshire mountains.

Towns and forest trails shimmer in a frosty glow. Restaurants craft delectable specialties from local harvests. Artworks and performances inspire, provoke, and engage.

Hotels and inns offer warm comfortable settings from which to stage your visit.

When you’re ready, step out into the snow on snowshoes and skis. Most walking and hiking trails can be accessed all winter long.

Enjoy gentle snowshoe hikes on well-marked trails or free form amongst the trees – you can always follow you own tracks back!

Put a little glide in your step with a cross country ski on groomed trails and anywhere there’s enough snow.

For more of a rush, click into Alpine, Tele skis, or snowboards at a nearby ski resort.

Or take your skis or snowshoes into the powdery backcountry.

Indoors you can acquaint yourself with masterpieces of European and American art at The Clark Art Institute.

Take advantage of free admission through March, 2023!
