Why Summer at Wintergreen

Cool Mountain Air
Endless Adventure

At 3,500 feet elevation, Wintergreen stays 10–15°F cooler than the valleys below — making it Virginia's best-kept secret for summer escapes. When it's 95° in Richmond or DC, it's a perfect 80° up here.

From Three Ridges 405, you're walking distance to the slopes-turned-trails, the village, and all the action. No car needed for most activities.
