December 8, 2025 - New Hampshire’s historic Franconia Inn in the picturesque White Mountains features a 30km network of groomed trails from beginner to advanced.

Snowshoers have their own routes for outdoor exploring, as do fat bike riders who can both enjoy 10 miles/16km of groomed trails.

Franconia’s on-site ski shop offers new rental equipment for classic skiing, along with snowshoes, ice skates, and fat bikes including ski lessons. Enjoy other winter activities such as horse-drawn sleigh rides.

The Inn features 34 cozy rooms, sans TV, with private baths and a variety of suites, as well as a private cottage for larger groups.

After a big day on the trails, enjoy a craft cocktail and a bite to eat in front of Peaks Pub’s crackling fireplace. The Inn’s dining room offers delicious American cuisine and views of the sun setting on the White Mountains.
