Luxury holidays in Hunter

Hunter, a picturesque basecamp in New York’s Catskills, is contoured by curving lines: Schoharie Creek weaves its way through town; in winter, Hunter Mountain Resort’s powdered pistes bring seasonal lines; and hiking trails wind through maple-covered mountains. Adventures of the outdoorsy kind are the main draw here, plus it’s a popular weekend escape from New York City.

When to go

For snowy slopes, visit Hunter between December and March; hike in spring or autumn, when it’s balmy and dry.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Fly from major US hubs, like New York City, Detroit and Philadelphia, into Albany or Stewart’s airports, which are both a 75-minute drive from Hunter. New York City’s international airports are two and a half hours’ away by car.

  • Automobiles

    You’ll need a car to get to the slopes, and for visits in milder months, when activities further afield are in season.
