When thinking of a winter destination, the Smoky Mountains likely isn’t at the top of the list. But it should be. From a wide array of attractions, activities, and events to top-notch cabin rentals, we’re here to tell you why a Gatlinburg trip could be the gift that keeps on giving this Holiday season. 

How to Have a Magical Experience in Gatlinburg

Items break, become outdated, are lost, and so much more but when you give the gift of an experience, the memories will last a lifetime. 

Gatlinburg Memory Maker #1 - Ober Gatlinburg

As the only ski resort in the area, it’s a popular spot for skiers and snowboarders alike (including beginners!) but what about those who don’t want to hit the slopes? The Tram ride alone is worth the trip, but there is also fun to be had without strapping on skis or a board. From the indoor skating rink to the outdoor tubing, a day spent at Ober is a day spent creating memories. 

Gatlinburg Memory Maker #2 - The Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Have you ever seen a frozen waterfall? How about the view of deer running across a field with a snow-covered mountain as its backdrop? The Great Smoky Mountains isn’t just a warm-weather destination. There is so much to see and experience in the winter months that it is a bucket-list item for many.

Gatlinburg Memory Maker #3 - Downtown

Downtown Gatlinburg has the small-town feel with big town attractions, shops, and dining. From the coolest aquarium in the United States to the towering space needle to take in 360-degree views, the entertainment and things to do in Gatlinburg will be the highlight of your trip. Add in the millions of twinkling lights of Winterfest and you have the makings for the best memories that will last forever.
