Sleigh Rides

There’s nothing more nostalgic in wintertime than a quintessential New Hampshire sleigh ride. From the mountains, to down along our lakes, cozied up passengers can enjoy the long-standing tradition of jingling bells inside a private horse-drawn sleigh ride for two. Sleigh rides are usually seasonal, so for more information, contact these New Hampshire sleigh-ride providers for pricing, details, and to make reservations.
