A Winter Adventure to the Summit of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire’s White Mountains

New Hampshire’s Mt. Washington, the highest peak in the Northeast, is known for having some of the most dramatic winter weather in the world. Now guests of The Glen House, the award-winning 68-room hotel at the base of the mountain, can experience Mt Washington in all its winter glory. The Glen House is offering the SnowCoach Package, which includes a trip on the Mt. Washington SnowCoach, traveling four and half miles up the snow-covered Auto Road to tree line at approximately 4,200 feet on the 6,288-foot mountain. It’s a rare opportunity to experience the most dramatic sub-arctic winter experiences in the White Mountain range. On a clear day, you can see the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast and north into Canada.

The SnowCoach Package includes a welcome of hot cocoa and cookies with two souvenir mugs, two adult tickets for the SnowCoach, and a daily $30 credit toward breakfast.

After a SnowCoach winter wonderland experience, it’s time get cozy inside The Glen House, with its views of the Presidential Range and its spectacular bar and lounge area that was named “The Most Beautiful Bar in New Hampshire” by Architectural Digest. From the fireplace to the cathedral ceiling and the dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows looking out on the snow covered White Mountains, it’s the perfect winter hideaway. The Notch Grille is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner while the fire pit on the deck is ideal for après ski. The Glen House also offers a fitness area and indoor pool.
