Schweitzer Mountain is a prime vacation spot all year long. In winter you can downhill or cross country ski, snowshoe or snowmobile.

In summer you can hike, horseback ride, bike, take a trail ride or hitch the quad to the top of the mountain to get the best pickins' of the huckleberry season. And the city of Sandpoint is only a short, 9-mile drive down the mountain. Sandpoint in any season is well worth a visit, boasting a four-season climate and fun opportunities for all ages.

Enjoy the mountains, the spectacular views and the peace and quiet. Schweitzer's 30 kilometer network of trails has something to offer everyone. Glide through majestic old growth forests, take it easy on the flats or get the blood pumping on some challenging climbs to the peaks of scenic terrain. There are countless options on this scenic network of trails. We thought we would highlight a few of the more popular trails and leave the rest for you to explore and discover on your own. Picnic Point Out and Back This is a lovely trek that will take you through some of Schweitzer's more accessible and scenic terrain. Start at the village trailhead and follow Overland to the GRR trail intersection and turn left. Take GRR out to Picnic Point. Bring your lunch.

    "I like smaller ski areas without all the "hype". The only problem we encountered was rain. We planned to ski three days, however, after the first day, the following two days were extremely wet."
