Hiking Options for Everyone
Our trail system covers an assortment of terrain throughout its 30 miles. There are both rugged, steep slopes as well as beautiful, short strolls almost anyone can enjoy. The unique environment on both the valley trails and the mountain trails at Wintergreen offers hikers an unforgettable experience.
The trail system is divided into three types of trails: access trails, perimeter trails, and valley trails. Access trails are blazed in yellow, perimeter trails in red, and valley trails in blue. Besides the map and tree blazes, there are signs at intersections with trail name, direction, and blaze color.
Our trail map, which is available for purchase at Trillium House, the Wintergreen Resort Mountain Inn, and the Market at Wintergreen, has each trail labeled as easy, moderate, or difficult.
Wintergreen trails are maintained by The Nature Foundation at Wintergreen volunteers and staff. They are open to the public, so enjoy the beauty of Wintergreen!
