Scenic Chairlift
Take a relaxing seven-minute ride to the summit on Cranmore Mountain’s four-passenger Scenic Chairlift, and experience breathtaking panoramic views of the Mt. Washington Valley. Once at the top, enjoy the fresh mountain air, explore scenic walking paths, and soak in some of the best mountain views in North Conway, New Hampshire.
The Scenic Chairlift will reopen for summer operations Memorial Day Weekend. Plan your visit and view our complete hours of operation for seasonal updates.
Meister Hut
Located at the summit, the historic Meister Hut is the perfect spot to kick back and relax on the deck or make it a mountaintop picnic. The restaurant is open alongside Scenic Chairlift hours of operation (last call 30 minutes before last chair down) and offers a lunch menu, grab and go snacks, ice cream, and local craft beer, canned cocktails, and wine.
Hiking at the Summit
Explore the beauty of the White Mountains with two scenic hiking trails starting at the Meister Hut. Enjoy a leisurely ½-mile summit loop or take on the two-mile Black Cap Connector Trail, both offering incredible 360-degree views of Mt. Washington Valley, the Presidential Range, Black Cap Mountain, and the Moat Mountains.
Perfect for families and casual hikers, these trails highlight the natural beauty of North Conway, New Hampshire. Please hike responsibly—stay on designated paths, carry in/carry out, and do not feed wildlife.
