Snow skiing and boarding are not the only attractions that draw families and winter sports enthusiasts to the stunning Moreno Valley.
When the weather turns to snow, the sleighs come out with the big Percheron horses. Huddle under the blankets, sip hot chocolate and enjoy the ride to the mountain campsite. If you like a little more action, take a hike! Angel Fire has over 52 miles of trails in the village that are great for snowshoeing and cross country skiing. Several of the ski shops have snowshoes available for rental. For even more action, try snowmobiling in the Carson National Forest. Everything from a leisurely ride to racing around the countryside can get your adrenaline going. What a way to get to Grandma’s house, over the river and through the woods!
When you’ve worked up a hunger, enjoy one of a dozen fine restaurants. Discover delectable Old World flavors, spicy Southwestern classics or take a walk on the wild side with a little elk or buffalo. There is an ambience for every occasion. Something scrumptious is always cooking in Angel Fire.
Scope out the shopping scene from unique ski and snowboard shops to chic boutiques. Find gifts for friends or impulse shop.
Angel Fire has everything in the way of lodging from lush hotel rooms, to condos, to large houses for your entire extended family. Many lodgers offer ski packages that include the lodging, skiing and dining experience in this fabulous mountain town.
