Wintergreen is keenly sensitive to the delicate balance between nature and development. The resort has long been a champion of preserving the natural beauty of its surroundings. Since its inception, Wintergreen has carefully thought out its growth, and continues to work in concert with The Wintergreen Nature Foundation, a non-profit organization that shares the common goal of preserving and protecting the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

At Wintergreen Resort, we know our greatest asset is the environment. Formed millions of years ago during a collision of continental plates, the Blue Ridge Mountains are some of the oldest in the country. The unique characteristics of these mountains give them an unmatched grandeur and provide our guests with some of the most spectacular views in Virginia.

Wintergreen Resort proudly endorses and actively participates in the National Ski Areas Association's Sustainable Slopes program, and is committed to preserving the character of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The value of this preservation effort holds today, and Wintergreen is a showcase of quality recreational opportunities for countless guests. Here at Wintergreen, we never underestimate the value of our natural surroundings in uplifting the human spirit.
