About the Bethel Nordic Ski Center at The Bethel Inn Resort

Discover the most complete cross country and nordic snowsports experience in Maine at the Bethel Nordic Ski Center. Experience a classic New England cross-country ski area and be ready for the winter adventure of a lifetime.

All of our trails have rolling terrain and many skirt stonewalls, stone dams and chimneys left as reminders of the region’s agrarian past. The field trails use some spectacular terrain and are dotted with vistas of the Mahoosuc Mountain Range and the Androscoggin River Valley.

Our groomed trails are our signature product.
We offer over 40 kilometers (24 + miles) of groomed trails:
Our trails are wider and that means we can groom for both skate and classic
Our varied terrain offers a wide range of challenge from beginner to expert
Our trails offer breath-taking views of the scenic Mahoosuc Mountains and the Androscoggin Valley.
We are committed to dependable grooming and quality snow surfaces; all open trails are groomed daily, even midweek.
