Winter is an excellent time to visit the Pennsylvania Great Outdoors region. Not only can you find beautiful snow-frosted trees and landscapes, cozy hearths where you can snuggle up with someone special in front of the fire, and soul-warming food and drinks, but the season also offers great deals on cozy accommodations for you and your loved ones.

From November through March, VisitPAGO.com/WinterLodgingSpecials will list a variety of lodging discounts at destinations ranging from snug cabins to luxury lodges to familiar hotels to charming B&Bs, so you’re sure to find the perfect place for your winter getaway. Get a free night with a multi-night package, take advantage of special winter midweek rates, or get a dining credit with your room reservation.

The fall and winter unveil a whole different side of the Pennsylvania Great Outdoors region than you’ll find in spring and summer, so even if you’ve been to visit during the warmer months, you’ll find a whole new set of endless adventures now. Make first tracks in the snow on cross-country skis or a snowmobile ride, and enjoy the sight of river otters, elk, bear, and other wildlife against a white landscape. Experience the fun of events like the Gingerbread Tour, Festival of Trees, Victorian Christmas, Winterfest, Snowman in the Forest, the world-famous Groundhog Day, and the Clarion River Jam Bluegrass Festival.
