This family-friendly resort, just 45 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh, is your escape in any season. Nestled in the scenic Laurel Highlands,
Hidden Valley is close to several attractions and offers its own amenities within the resort.

Hiking
When you stay at your Hidden Valley Getaway, you’re practically surrounded by state parks that offer an abundance of spring, summer, and autumn outdoor hiking adventures. Both of our Getaways are a short distance from the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail.
Biking
Want to get off your feet for a while? Take a mountain bike through the trails that vary in difficulty from beginner to expert. Hit 15 miles of easy to difficult trails on foot or mountain bike.
Winter Sports
With 26 slopes and trails as well as two terrain parks, Hidden Valley has skiing and snowboarding for all skill levels. Take total novices to a private or group skiing or snowboarding lesson at Snowsports School, or forgo skill entirely and take a plunge down the mountain in a snow tube. Nine lifts take you back up the mountain, so you can maximize your thrill seeking time.
