Family owned and operated, and the first alpine coaster in North Carolina! A great experience for all ages with the ability to go up to 27 mph at the control of the rider. Feel free to also check out their newest attraction next door, the Wilderness Run Adventure Course.
Beech Mountain Ski Resort
Beech Mountain Resort offers a variety of amenities, no matter what time of year it may be. We recommend the scenic lift rides, where you can enjoy a beautiful ride on the lift to the top of the mountain. From here you can grab a drink at the Sky Bar or just enjoy the panoramic views the summit has to offer.

One of the largest menus Banner Elk has to offer, the Cafe provides good eats for all times of the day along with an exquisite espresso bar. Feel free to check out their website for live music scheduling and events!
