Perched atop Mt. Harrison, high above the picturesque village of
Gatlinburg, Ober Gatlinburg offers family fun all year long. But when
the snow flies, this famous resort turns into one of the only ski areas
the south has to offer €" and the only one in Tennessee.
Trails for Every Skill Level
Ober Gatlinburg has something to offer skiers of every ability. From
bunny hills to black-diamond runs, you'll have a chance to learn a new
skill, challenge yourself, or simply take an easy glide through the
trees. Nine groomed runs wind through the trees, providing lots of fun
and plenty of gorgeous scenery to enjoy along the way.
For the more adventurous, check out the Terrain Park, where you can
try out some fancy moves on the many snow features designed for
freestyle skiing. Grab your snowboard and
prepare to challenge yourself
on the ever-changing course, which includes both man-made and natural
obstacles.
Not a skier? No problem. January 2015 is Learn to Ski and Snowboard
Month at Ober Gatlinburg. You'll find professional instructors ready to
help you learn to navigate the slopes, plus you'll be able to rent skis,
boots, and even jackets and pants if you don't have your own. Beginners
of every age are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to
try out a new winter activity.
Getting to Ober Gatlinburg couldn't be easier. Simply head downtown
to hop aboard the famous Gatlinburg Aerial Tramway and enjoy a scenic
trip up the side of the mountain, free from concerns over icy roadways
or traffic snarls. In addition to a leisurely ride, the view from the
tram is spectacular. The Great Smoky Mountains stretch out before you,
decorated for winter with a fresh blanket of white and glittering in the
sunlight.
Snowy Fun for Kids
In addition to slopes suitable for all ages and skill levels. Ober
Gatlinburg also has plenty of options to keep the younger members of
your family entertained. The Cubbies Snow Zone provides a fun place to
play in the snow under adult supervision, out of the way of the slopes
and chair lifts. Build a snowman, make some snow angels, or dig a fort
in the piles of fresh powder.
Besides the cold-weather fun, you'll find other family friendly
activities on site as well. Warm your hands on a cup of hot chocolate in
the Ober Gatlinburg restaurant, try your luck in the arcade, or strap
on your skates and practice your twirls at the indoor ice arena. For the
nature lovers in your group, Wildlife Encounter gives you a chance to
meet and greet the natives, including owls, raccoons, and otters.

A variety of course options combined with lots of other available activities means even when you're not swooshing through fine powder, you'll find lots to keep you and your entire family occupied.
