Waterville Valley, New Hampshire
Waterville Valley is a low-cost holiday destination that offers skiing and winter sports in the White Mountains. But that’s not all! Waterville has 52 trails and 12 ski lifts, and the Nordic Center features 47 miles of groomed trails for cross-country skiing.
Families can also check out the White Mountain Athletic Club for a leisurely swim or the Waterville Valley Ice Arena for skating when they’re not on the trails.
At the nearby Curious George Cottage, once home to Margret and H.A. Rey, the creators of the world’s most beloved monkey, the Curious Kids program takes children and families exploring into the White Mountain National Forest.
Lodging options for families range from $125 for a room at a local inn to $411 a night for a three-bedroom condo right on the mountain.
