Act Quickly, West Virginia’s Snowshoe Mountain Sleigh Rides Are Only Offered For A Short Time Each Winter

Dashing through the snow on a one-horse open sleigh. It sounds like a sweet Hallmark scene or something from a fairy tale, doesn’t it? And while you can often find sleigh rides featured prominently on the Hallmark channel each winter, and you may read about an idyllic sleigh ride on the pages of a historic novel, that’s not the only place you can find such a charming, old-fashioned experience. You can also find a magical winter sleigh ride of your very own right here in the mountains of West Virginia. The Snowshoe Mountain sleigh rides are one of our favorite winter activities, but you must hurry so that you can experience it for yourself..

Enter Autumn Breeze Stables at Snowshoe Mountain Resort.

With a stable full of beautiful, mannerly, well-cared-for horses and a newly restored, gleaming old sleigh, Autumn Breeze Stables is the go-to spot for an unforgettable winter sleigh ride in wild, wonderful West Virginia.

Act quickly, though, for several reasons.

First, and perhaps most obvious, the sleigh only runs when there's snow on the ground.

The Snowshoe area gets more snow than most of the state, but still, the window for good sleigh riding doesn't last forever!

Also, the rides themselves are limited.

Reservations must be made at least two days in advance, and coveted spots on this relaxing tour through a West Virginia winter wonderland fill up quickly.

Have you ever taken a sleigh ride through the winter wonderland of West Virginia? It's an experience that belongs on your winter bucket list, that's for sure!

To learn more about this epic sleigh ride in West Virginia, check the rates for the ride, or to book a sleigh adventure of your own, head over to the Autumn Breeze Stables website. Also, be sure to follow Autumn Breeze Stables on Facebook to keep up with weather and trail conditions. The best way to reserve a spot on their winter sleigh is to contact them by e-mail.

And if you’re looking for another fun activity to do in the Snowshoe area, try snowmobiling, which might just be considered the more modern equivalent of a historic sleigh ride. Also, we found a few Snowshoe Mountain resorts where you can rest after you play.
