At Alpine
Village Resort you’ll enjoy the liberating choice of being as active
or as completely restful as you desire. Golf, trout fishing, hiking, horseback
riding, swimming, tennis, clogging, hay rides, country cooking, viewing
the flourishing arts and crafts trades while listening to professional story
tellers and mountain music, it's all here. The Blue Ridge Parkway, Biltmore
Estate, Chimney Rock, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Caverns, Asheville,
Blowing Rock and so much more are all just a short drive away. The phrase
'local color' could have been invented for the rich hospitable atmosphere
of the western North Carolina Mountains.

Golf:
Golf Digest’s 4½ star ranked Mt. Mitchell Golf Course lies
just two miles down the mountain upon which Alpine Village rests. Ranked
in the top 10 public courses in the state (Golf Digest 2004), the
views are impressive from every hole. The crystal-clear South Toe River
winds its way through the golf course, adding beauty and occasional thrills
to a round of golf.

Hiking - Alpine Village Resort has direct access to hundreds of miles
of hiking trails that run throughout the Pisgah National Forest. Trails
with differing levels of difficulty are all within a few miles distance.
Walk along the South Toe River with ease or take a full day on the challenging
Deep Gap Trail which starts at the top of Mt. Mitchell, the highest mountain
east of the Mississippi River. A hiking guide with details and maps on nine
local trails is available at the office. |

Trout
Fishing: A fly-fisherman's paradise, Alpine Village Resort is walking
distance to private stretches of the pristine South Toe River shore. For
the novice fisherman, privately owned trout ponds are a short drive away
where the owner will clean your fish for you as you prepare for your freshly
caught dinner. |
