Since 1969 the Village of Sugar Mountain has become known as one of the High Country's most attractive vacation destinations. Perhaps it's because with a peak elevation of 5,300' we have North Carolina's largest ski and snowboarding resort, and the only one to feature a 1,200' vertical drop. Or maybe it's because of our challenging 18-hole golf course or our six Har-Tru clay tennis courts, where you can work on your backhand as soon as you've finished the back nine.
Could it be the miles and miles of twisting mountain bike trails or the incredible views from the summer lift rides? It could be the rainbow of rhododendrons, mountain laurels and azaleas in the spring. Or maybe it's the rich red, orange and gold hues of the autumn foliage.
Then there's the annual Oktoberfest celebration... There are just so many reasons and seasons to visit the Village of Sugar Mountain all year long!
