Sledding & Sleigh Rides
Even if you don't ski or snowboard, there's a lot of ways to stay outside and active this winter in the Laurel Highlands. Check out sleigh rides, dog sledding, sled riding and other unique winter activities.
Sleigh Rides
For a more relaxing outdoor winter excursion, go on a sleigh ride through the Laurel Highlands. Sit back and relax as a pair of horses guides you through a winter wonderland of snow-laden evergreens, snow-covered branches and soaring mountainsides at the beautiful Seven Springs Mountain Resort.
Dog Sledding
If you've ever wanted to lead a team of dogs across a picturesque winter landscape, dog sledding in the Laurel Highlands is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Book your reservation in advance to experience dog sledding at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort. A team of seasoned sled dogs from the nearby Wildlife Academy will lead the way, all you have to do is hold on and enjoy the cool rush of wind in your face. It's an experience you won't soon forget.
