While visiting the Old Field House Inn, mountain biking in the North Conway region can be enjoyed at many different locations. One of our favorites is at Attitash Mountain. Attitash offers some of the best lift-serviced mountain biking in the area and has a total of over 20 miles of bike trails. Enjoy the ride to the top of the mountain and then get ready for the excitement! Bikers will enjoy the adrenaline rush of racing down the mountain and have access to more than six miles of mixed-trail and single-track downhill terrain for advanced mountain biking. However, if you are new to this sport, Attitash also offers approximately 12 miles of easy-to-moderate trails along the Saco River.
If you do not plan to bring your bike along with you on vacation, Attitash provides access to mountain bike rentals. All rentals come complete with a helmet or just bring along your own.
After a day of enjoying the great outdoors, return to the Inn and relax by the pool. Now this is what they call a vacation!
