Dreaming of a winter escape that’s equal parts charming, easy and packed with fun for the whole family? Sisters, Oregon, is your answer! Nestled on the scenic east slope of the Cascade Mountains, Sisters has a lovely Old West vibe and is the ultimate, stress-free basecamp for making magical winter memories.

For some, the slopes call, but for others, a simple, beautiful walk is just the ticket. The Peterson Ridge Trail Network starts right in town, offering miles of mellow trails perfect for an easy family hike. For stunning riverside views, explore the picturesque Metolius River Trail.

As an officially designated International Dark Sky Community in 2025, Sisters is a top spot for stargazing. Download a simple app or treat your family to a private tour for an awe-inspiring evening of wonder.

Hoodoo Ski Area (just 20 miles west) is a genuine family favorite known for its shorter lift lines and affordability. Beyond skiing and snowboarding, they offer a tubing hill and Central Oregon’s only night skiing. If you prefer a gentler pace, Nordic (cross-country) skiing is available on groomed routes at Hoodoo, and peaceful snowshoeing loops are at Ray Benson Sno-Park.

From stargazing to snowshoeing, to cocoa-by-the-fire and family ski days, Sisters awaits you.
