Sugarloaf Mountain
Sugarloaf Mountain is the ideal setting for your next holiday regardless of the season. Skiers will adore Sugarloaf's various shred-worthy alternatives in the winter, which range from standard downhill skiing to more daring cat skiing on difficult terrain. Other well-liked wintertime hobbies include ice skating, fat biking, and dog sledding. Summertime is also the best season for activities like zip line, kayaking, hiking, and Segway excursions. You can experience the great outdoors without giving up the comforts of home because the mountain is surrounded by an array of eateries and shops.
Get a 360-degree perspective of the surrounding mountains, including Sugarloaf's snowfields on its eastern side, and nearby communities in the Carrabassett River Valley by hiking to the 3,600-foot Burnt Mountain top. The trailhead is accessible from Mountainside Road near the conclusion of Bigelow Mountain Road. Before reaching the vast top covered in dense alpine grass, the 3-mile trail goes through softwoods and hardwoods, including a sizable piece of white birch. The trail follows a streambed and has one moderately steep section.
