Loon Mountain Features New Segway Tours and an Adventure Package for an Affordable Day of Fun

Lincoln, NH - Loon Mountain Resort, featuring new Segway® tours, a zipline adventure, New Hampshire’s longest scenic gondola skyride and an affordable Adventure Package, kicks off the summer season this Saturday for a Memorial Day weekend opening. The mountain resort will be open weekends from May 28 through June 19, with daily operations beginning on June 25.

New this summer, Loon will offer area tours via Segway - a self balancing two-wheeled personal transport device that is fun and easy to ride. Participants will get a short orientation to learn how to ride a Segway and then they will glide on a guided tour of the local area, learning about the area’s history and logging heritage, and how it transformed from a logging and mill town to the popular year-round destination that it is today.

The Gondola Skyride, with access to the 2,750’ Loon Peak and Summit Adventures, will be open weekends from May 28 through June 26 then daily through October 16. In addition to spectacular White Mountain views, the summit offers glacial caves to explore, where kids can hunt for the ‘Lost Loon Gold’ and take home their own gold token. Treasure maps are available inside Loon Mountain Sports Retail & Gift Shop, where Skyride tickets are available for purchase. An interpretive self-guided nature walk, observation tower, and mountaintop playground round out the family fun available at the summit. The Summit Café offers lunch and refreshments with a scenic backdrop and families can also visit with local artisans as they practice their crafts.
