Schweitzer Mountain: A Year-Round Gem in North Idaho
December 11th is International Mountain Day, a day to celebrate the beauty and significance of mountains worldwide. This year, we are highlighting Schweitzer Mountain in North Idaho. As one of the premier year-round destinations in the Pacific Northwest, Schweitzer offers breathtaking vistas, thrilling outdoor adventures, and a unique connection to our local community—Intermax Networks included.
What Makes Schweitzer Mountain Special?
Nestled in the Selkirk Mountains, Schweitzer Mountain is a year-round destination for recreation and relaxation. No matter what time of year you visit, enjoy dining, shopping, spa pampering, and a host of seasonal activities.
Winter Activities (December-March)
In the winter, Schweitzer boasts 2,900 acres of skiable terrain during the winter months. With an average snowfall of 300 inches, it’s a haven for skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts of all skill levels. Beyond the slopes, visitors can enjoy snowshoeing, tubing, and cozying up at the mountain village with hot cocoa in hand.
Spring Activities (April-May)
As the snow melts, spring reveals trails perfect for hiking and wildlife spotting. Spring is a quieter time at the resort, with fewer crowds and stunning views. Go enjoy some much-deserved downtime and admire the blooming alpine scenery.
Summer Activities (June-August)
Schweitzer transforms into a summer paradise. Hike and bike the trails or ride the scenic chairlift to enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Pend Oreille and the surrounding peaks. Rejuvenate in nature with outdoor yoga and wellness events. Late summer is perfect for huckleberry picking – a local berry often described as a cross between a raspberry and a blueberry with a little more flavor.
Fall Activities (September-November)
Bask in Autumn’s glory! Go on hikes and nature walks with photo-worthy fall foliage at every turn. Schweitzer also hosts community events and festivals with family-friendly activities to celebrate the season.
