7 Breathtaking Small Towns to Visit in Winter

North Conway, New Hampshire

Suppose your idea of a perfect winter escape involves gliding down snow-dusted peaks and lacing up your boots for cross-country trails.

In that case, we recommend heading to North Conway, a classic New England ski town on the east of the White Mountains in Mount Washington Valley.

In this small town, you can take your pick from nearby ski areas, including Cranmore, which is about 2 miles away from the town’s main village and boasts a ski school along with off-slope activities like snowshoeing and sleigh rides (Santa not included).

Then you should check out the Conway Scenic Railroad or brush up on your meteorology at Mount Washington Observatory’s Weather Discovery Center before grabbing a few snacks at Zeb’s General Store.
