Luxury holidays in White Mountains

When to go

Foliage viewing is a notable draw if you’re visiting in the fall; and during the summer, balmy temperatures create prime conditions for arcadian pursuits. For skiers, peak season is over January and February.

Getting there

• Planes

  You’re nearest landing strips are Boston Logan Airport and Portland International Jetport; both around two hours from the White Mountains by car.

• Automobiles

  You’ll need a car to explore this rural region. They’re particularly worth bringing for the Kancamagus Highway, a scenic 35-mile route that wraps around the White Mountains National Forest.
