Local tip

Go all the way to the barn! Only a 3-mile round trip, the historic Mad Creek Barn is a must-see.

Your base for all of it.

Escape Chalet sits in the mountain district at the base of Mount Werner, a flat ten-minute walk from the gondola, with the free Green Line bus stopping 50 feet from the door.
