Hiking & Walking Trails

Adventure Outside with TNFW

Managed by The Nature Foundation at Wintergreen volunteers and staff members. Open to the public.

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.

🟢 EASY: Generally level terrain, all abilities

🟡 MODERATE: Varied terrain, short steep sections.

⚫ DIFFICULT: Lengthy steep sections, experienced hikers only.

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!

Winter Hiking at Wintergreen

In the winter be especially careful on the following trails due to the steepness of the trails and the abundance of ice and snow covered rocks. Even though the trails are open, hiking these trails during the winter makes them especially hazardous: HIKE AT YOUR OWN RISK! While we no longer close these trails, you are assuming the risk of an unsafe hiking environment.

Loggers Alley is closed where it crosses the ski slopes through the end of ski season.
