By The Season
Winter
Winter covers the Great Smoky Mountains in thin blankets of white flurries, and the natural rise and fall of the ridgeline is accentuated through bare trees. Experience Blackberry Mountain in the still, beautiful and refreshing Winter of East Tennessee.
On the Mountain
- A hike through the trails reveals views that stretch beyond what you can see in the greener seasons.
- A visit to Nest restores the mind and body from the outside in with thoughtful, natural spa treatments. We recommend the warming Herbal Poultice Massage or Kaolin Clay Wrap.
- From holiday traditions in December to Valentine's Day in February, celebrations anchor the season.
- Flavorful, regional meals and inspired beverage options provide energy for adventures and nourishment for cozy relaxation. Enjoy our Chefs' elevated takes on classic winter comfort foods, from savory slow cooked short rib to a warm chocolate chip and toffee cookie.
- East Tennessee Winters bring steady, crisp temperatures. We recommend packing warm layers to easily transition from day to night.
