Change is in the air. The temperature starts to dip, sweaters start to find their way into daily clothing rotation and slowly, the trees begin their colourful transition. It’s autumn in Ontario, and for many, a favourite season to get outside and play. Blue Mountain sits on a naturally beautiful landscape in all seasons, but the most spectacular is the fall colours across the Niagara Escarpment. There’s just something about a gondola ride or a hike up to the top to witness the stunning blue of Georgian Bay surrounded by the hues of the season.
Here are just a few reasons, we ‘fall’ for Fall.
Always Open.
Fall is often seen as the shoulder season, but at Blue, the fun continues. The attractions in our Adventure Park may close a little earlier, but we are open for as much outdoor action as you can handle.
Sweater Weather
Autumn offers the best of both worlds: warm, sun-filled days perfect for outdoor adventures, followed by cool evenings ideal for cozy knits by the campfire. Can you say Pumpkin Spice?
True Colours
If you’re a leaf seeker, the Georgian Bay Area is a spectacular part of the province to witness the Niagara Escarpment transforming into a breathtaking display of colour. Keep an eye on the colour meter and check-out some scenic drive routes.
Great Deals
The busy summer is behind us and if you’re looking for a more laid-back resort experience, this is an ideal time of year to visit. Midweek stays ensure fewer crowds and great rates. Remember to book direct in advance for the best savings.
Nature Calls
We might be biased, but we love a scenic autumn hike and at Blue Mountain, nature is the main attraction with a network of 30km of hiking, biking & multi use trails spanning the escarpment. TIP: Bring your camera to capture Insta worthy vistas!
We’re Fore Golf
If you like swinging the clubs, Monterra Golf will test both your long and short game. Not only is the course challenging on its own, but the fall colours that surround you make it hard to keep your eyes on the green.
Relaxation and Rejuvenation
Ahhhh yes, nothing says fall like the draw of a day at the spa, especially when it’s Scandinave Spa Blue Mountain. Transport yourself to a world of tranquility and embark on an immersive wellness journey in nature.
Farmstands, Markets & Orchards
The smell of freshly baked pies, baskets of apples, pumpkins and gourds. We love a trip to a farmstand, and our area has plenty. Take an autumn drive and explore what the region has to offer.
Wineries, Cideries & Breweries Oh My!
Our area just happens to be ideal for growing and that means boutique vineyards, cider houses and microbreweries have popped up across the country roads, towns and villages of South Georgian Bay. Take our word for it, it’s worth taking some time to tour and sample the award-winning fruits of their labour.
Comfort Food
We may love being active, but that doesn’t mean we don’t indulge in some fall culinary fare. The season is perfect for belly warming comfort food and we love everything from artisan cheeses to harvest dinners. You’ll find something to satisfy your craving in the Blue Mountain Village.
