When the snow melts, Ellicottville doesn’t slow down — it shifts gears. The same mountains that draw skiers all winter become a network of hiking trails, mountain bike runs, and aerial adventures. With Holiday Valley’s summer operations and miles of backcountry trails, the warm-weather side of EVL is just as stacked as the cold.
Sky High Adventure Park
A mountaintop aerial adventure course at Holiday Valley with zip lines, rope bridges, climbing walls, and a mountain coaster. Ride the chairlift up, spend hours in the trees, and take in views of the valley that make you forget you’re in Western New York. Open spring through fall.

Mountain Biking
Holiday Valley’s lift-served mountain bike park opens when the snow clears and offers downhill trails for every skill level. Rent a bike at the base, ride the chairlift to the summit, and let gravity do the work. Cross-country riders will find miles of singletrack through the surrounding Enchanted Mountains.
