Schweitzer Mountain Resort

Schweitzer may be known for its skiing and biking, but ask any regular and they will tell you the village eats well. From mountaintop lunches to cozy pubs, here is where to point your appetite on the mountain.

One of the best things about Schweitzer Mountain Resort is that the village is small. Everything sits within an easy stroll — the lifts, the restaurants, the rental shop, the coffee. Stay on the mountain and you can walk to the slopes in the morning and walk home for lunch. Here is a friendly tour of your options.

There is a particular feeling in the air around Schweitzer Mountain Resort right now. The summer chairlifts have stopped turning, the village has gone quiet, and somewhere up at 6,400 feet the first flakes are only a matter of time. The 2026-27 winter season is tentatively scheduled to begin on November 27, conditions permitting — and this year, there is a lot to look forward to.
