To help you make the most of your getaway, Chalet Village has put together five fun ideas for celebrating Valentine’s Day in Gatlinburg.
1. Drive Through Cades Cove
Cades Cove is one of the most beautiful spots in the United States! This incredibly scenic valley offers stunning mountain views, historic cabins, and superb wildlife viewing. Couples will love driving Cades Cove’s 11 mile loop road, which passes by all of the valley’s popular landmarks. Be sure to bring your camera, because Cades Cove provides a seemingly endless array of wonderful photo opportunities.
2. Go Ice Skating at Ober Gatlinburg
Ice skating is another romantic way to spend part of your Valentine’s Day in Gatlinburg. When you stay at Chalet Village, you will be minutes away from the Ober Gatlinburg Ski Area & Amusement Park, as our cabin community is located on the same mountain as the resort. In addition to fantastic skiing and snowboarding, Ober features a great indoor ice skating rink.
