A Winter Getaway To Virginia’s Snowiest Region Is Nothing Short Of Magical
Virginia isn’t exactly the snowiest state in the U.S. However, the Old Dominion has seen its fair share of snow and has even been part of a handful of blizzards over the years. When it does snow here, it’s always a special occasion. If you are hoping to see snow in Virginia, you’ll want to plan a trip to the mountains of southwestern Virginia — particularly, Tazewell County. As the snowiest region in Virginia, this special corner knows how to celebrate all things cold-weather-related.
Welcome to Tazewell County! Tucked away in the southwestern corner of Virginia amid the Appalachian Mountains, this destination is worthy of a day trip year-round.
In 1990, the Nature Conservancy declared the Clinch River Basin to be among the 20 "last great places in the world," and that title still rings true today.
Tazewell County is synonymous with outdoor adventure. From iconic hikes to ATV trails, mountain biking, fishing, climbing, and more, there's no shortage of ways to immerse yourself in the scenery.
If you visit during the colder months, there's a very good chance you'll see some snow. On average, Tazewell County sees about 35 inches of snow per year.
