Alpine Inn literally means a nice little inn in the Italian Alps, and that is what you will find at the very foot of Belleayre Mountain Ski Center...At this bed and breakfast, go out the front door, put on your cross-country skis, herring-bone about a hundred yards, and you are at the start of nine kilometers of well-maintained Nordic Ski Trails, free, courtesy of the New York State Department of Conservation. Is downhill skiing or snowboarding more your taste? Then drive the short distance to the summit of majestic Belleayre Ski Center....
