At over a mile high in elevation (5,506 feet above sea level), Beech Mountain is the highest incorporated town east of the Mississippi. The elevation almost guarantees great breezes and when the temperatures are still in the mid to high 90's in most of the Carolinas and Virginia, Beech Mountain remains cool. Temperatures rarely exceed 80 degrees on top!

Located high in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, almost in Tennessee and Virginia, our elevation creates cool summer temperatures, wonderful snowy winter ski weather, and some of the best mountain vistas imaginable.

Spring and Summer is beautiful on Beech with an abundance of wildflowers, wildlife and great temps. There are tons of great activities and fun for the entire family. Hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding are among favorites. Beech Mountain offers many relaxing to invigorating trails to enjoy. Beech offers a beautiful recreation park above the waters of Buckeye Lake, where you can take the family for a hike along Beech Mountain's 18 mile system of maintained trails that wind across the mountain. Hikers often see the abundant wildlife that also calls Beech Mountain "home".

If you're into golf Beech Mountain is home to Beech Mountain Club* which offers an 18 hole golf course that boasts of some challenging holes and some panoramic mountain views, a practice range, 10 tennis courts (8 clay and 2 hard surface), lessons to sharpen up that golf or tennis match from the pros, swimming in a heated outdoor lap pool, and more!


Autumn on Beech Mountain is truly awe-inspiring. Visitors come from several states to enjoy what nature brings to the high elevations of Beech Mountain. Every color and hue imaginable burst from oaks, maples, hickory, birch and beech trees to display views of the mountains that are unmatched. Gorgeous patchworks of the valley below, framed by Carolina blue skies...you must see it to believe it.


Winters on Beech Mountain are filled with the shrills of delight that you'll hear from the sledding hills, ski slopes and ice skating rink - all located on the mountain. Snowball fights and the making of snow creatures of every shape and size are favorite activities of children of all ages during natural snowfall. Beech Mountain receives an AVERAGE of 80" of natural snow per year and many years we see much more than that. In 1996 we received a whopping 128"!

Skiers, snow boarders and winter enthusiasts come to take advantage of the 14 slopes of SKI BEECH and its outdoor skating rink. An Alpine Village and the surrounding BEECH MOUNTAIN Community provide folks with a total winter vacation experience of enjoyment and fond memories. Even when Mother Nature doesn't cooperate with natural snow, our average nighttime temps are plenty cold enough for Ski Beech's mountain ops guys to make snow. Ski Beech offers snowmaking capabilities on 100% of their trails!

No matter the season, you'll find lots of fun activities to keep you occupied. For those of you who come to the mountains to "get away from it all" - there's THAT here to! Curl up with a good book in front of a nice fire; or just close your eyes and relax out on the deck of a vacation rental cabin or your own dream home in the mountains! Nothing quite beats just chilling to the sounds of nature.

The rest of the High Country of Western North Carolina is located just five miles down the mountain to Banner Elk, Linville, Boone, Blowing Rock, Valle Crucis and other High Country towns.

The Avery/Watauga Area is called the High Country and it is home to Appalachian State University and Lees McRae College. Both offer popular Summer Arts Festivals like Appalachian Summer; Live Theater in many locations including Boone, Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, and more!

The High Country is also home to wonderful Scenic Attractions located on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Mount Mitchell, Grandfather Mountain, and Roan Mountain are all just a short drive away. There are also MANY Special Events such as the popular Wooly Worm Festival, Valle Crucis Fair, 4th of July Barbecue and Fireworks Display, Bicycle Race, Fred’s Concerts, Art in the Park, Banner Elk Arts Festival, and numerous local crafts exhibits and story telling events...and more.
