3 Lesser-Known Winter Activities You Can Enjoy in North Conway

December 5, 2024

If you’re into winter sports and recreation, then North Conway is probably already on your radar. The small New Hampshire town features 13 ski resorts and Nordic centers all within a 30-minute drive, leading to over 300 trails you can experience on skis, in snowshoes, or snowboarding. It has been named as one of America’s top ski towns by USA Today, but this just scratches the surface when it comes to everything you could do while staying active and taking in the gorgeous White Mountains.

Dog Sledding

The only thing that could make the beautiful vistas even better is having a few furry, enthusiastic friends to show you around! Guests of all ages can go on dog sledding adventures ranging from 2-50 miles year-round, but of course, winter is the ideal time. Not only is this fun for the family and a great way to see the area, but it also supports the rescue efforts of Muddy Paw Dog Kennels less than an hour away from North Conway.

Snow Tubing

If you’re looking to hit the slopes in a more leisurely way, or if you have a friend or family member who isn’t the strongest skier, then snow tubing can let them (and you!) relax while gravity does most of the work. Tubing is an option at many of the ski areas around town. Guests can take advantage of lift service or just walk up and slide down to keep things simple.

Wonderful Smells

Of course, you’re going to have to take a break and refuel at some point, and North Conway includes some of the best and most unique coffee shops, bakeries, and bed and breakfasts in New England. Featuring big flavors, unique stories, and vibrant people, you can taste locally roasted coffee and grab a homemade pastry you’ll be thinking about until the next morning.
