Hildene Accessibility Guide
Mid-December to Mid-March
Wintertime can be one of great beauty on the Hildene campus and our 12+/- miles of trails are a wonderful way to experience the property. Open to guests year-round, the trails are of varying levels of difficulty, natural and ungroomed. If you would care to use your own Nordic equipment on our trails, you are welcome to do so. Please be sure to pay admission first in our Welcome Center. CLICK HERE for more info on winter sports.
