Explore Omni Mount Washington Resort & Bretton Woods Ski Area in New Hampshire

Story, photos, video by Cassie Hepler

Omni Mount Washington Resort in the White Mountains of New Hampshire is giving all the Bridgerton vibes you’ve ever wanted on the East Coast of the United States! As part of our stay with Bretton Woods Vacations, we were treated to a guided tour of the property as well as a ride on the gondola (not the Italian kind) ride experience which is part of the Bretton Woods Ski Area.

Elevate your mountain adventure at the Omni with Spanish Renaissance architecture and views of Mount Washington, New Hampshire! A place where grand history meets modern luxury, it’s a sprawling estate where historic moments shaped the world. The Omni Mount Washington Resort offers a zipline canopy tour, swimming with snowflakes in the heated outdoor pool, play a round of golf, book a ski trip, hiking adventure with a guide, or get pampered at the 25,000 square-foot spa and wellness center. For dinner, have a bite at Stickney’s Steak & Chop Pub or at the fancy 1902 Main Dining Room before a nightcap in the Cave, a prohibition-era speakeasy. This place is absolutely stunning in every direction. We look forward to returning to explore more in the future when we have more time to stay and play!

As part of the Omni stay and play package, explore the panoramic views of Mount Washington and the Presidential Range with a scenic ride on the Bretton Woods Skyway Gondola! This 12-minute ride up the mountain from 1o a.m. to 4 p.m. rotating daily takes you to the summit to enjoy stunning views in every season with the option to dine at Switchback Grille or grab some caffeine at Peaks Café, both inside Rosebrook Lodge at the top. The gondola is free to guests staying at the Omni Mount Washington or you can purchase a ticket for around $35 for a family. Even though this is New Hampshire’s largest skiing area, summer at Bretton Woods Ski Area has a medley of other nature loving options too! Bretton Woods is great escape from the city for guests of all ages with goals to connect you to the enchanting spirit of the season and landscape. With those White Mountains as a backdrop, this place is the perfect blend of relaxation, exploration and rejuvenation.

The Omni Mount Washington Resort is a place where historic moments shaped the world. You can soar through the mountain air on a zipline canopy tour, swim in the heated outdoor pool, or play a round before dinner, book a ski trip in winter, a guided adventure in the summer, or indulge in a pampering session year-round in the 25,000 square-foot spa and wellness center. End your day of resort activities with a wind-down drink perhaps at the top of the Bretton Woods Ski Area lounge. Regardless what your vibe, nature will bring some life back to you at this magical space!
