Summer at Schweitzer

Steep hills. good people. and a lake.

We do things a little differently up here in North Idaho. We tend to enjoy life at a leisurely pace. Make no mistake, we are here for the hiking and biking. And maybe a few cold ones at the end of the day. We play hard and laugh even harder. We enjoy life at every turn, even the rocky ones that make your heart skip a beat. So if you’re new here, here’s your open invitation to our humble slice of paradise.

THE TERRAIN
Schweitzer is home to 16 marked downhill mountain biking trails along with over 30 multi-use trails. The terrain is diverse with bike parks, rocky trails, rolling hills, and plenty of send worthy features. But don't worry, for those searching for more laid back excursion, there are more approachable mountain biking trails accessible from the Village along with hiking trails for those who prefer sticking to their own two feet. No matter your adventure - hiking, biking, huckleberry picking, or simply riding the chairlift, enjoy!

THE VIEWS
Schweitzer's views are spectacular to say the very least. Overlooking Idaho's largest lake, biking or hiking down Schweitzer Bowl offers the ultimate backdrop of Lake Pend Oreille. Looking for the best selfie spot? If you head to the summit via the Great Escape, soak in 360-degree views of neighboring mountain ranges in Montana, Washington, and Canada.

THE VILLAGE
Schweitzer's cozy village has everything you need to round out your vacation. With 5 summer dining options, you're sure to find something to satisfy any palate. Ready to relax or recharge? Head to Cambium Spa for a treatment that refreshes you for another day of fun in the sun. For the latest Schweitzer logo-wear, swing by The Source to pick out some new threads. From shopping, to dining, to spa, everything is just steps away in this pedestrian village.
