SKI NEW HAMPSHIRE SUMMITS PROVIDE MAJESTIC VIEWS
From the summits of New Hampshire’s mountains, the whole world seems to be in view, or at least glimpses of Canada, Vermont, Maine and Massachusetts. This special world of mountaintop vistas is also home to unique vegetation and wildlife that greet visitors with sights, sounds, and fragrances. There was a time when the special beauty and thrill of a mountaintop was reserved only for those dedicated hikers who had the strength and time to climb step-by-step to the mountain summits. But now, thanks to mountain resort technology, anyone can become part of the mountaintop world by taking a Ski NH resort summit ride to its peak to enjoy some of the most breathtaking views in New England.

Guests to Bretton Woods can enjoy scenic lift rides on the Bethlehem Express Quad chairlift.
