Boasting an impressive array of amenities, accommodations, comforts and activities, Chestnut Mountain is the choice Illinois travel destination. Conveniently located near historic Galena, nestled neatly amongst the hills overlooking the Mississippi, it’s the perfect place to escape. Chestnut’s over 220 rolling acres and 475-foot vertical drop are home to 19 ski trails and a 7-acre terrain park, The Farside, featuring over 25 rails and structures. With two quad lifts, four triple chair lifts, two conveyor lifts and one surface lift, you won’t be waiting in line to get back to the peak.

There’s no shortage of awesome activities in the warmer months on the mountain. Take a thrill ride down the Alpine Slide, cruise the mighty Mississippi River, get your adrenaline going on the Soaring Eagle zip line or drive a Segway through the scenic Chestnut hills. Take a bike ride on the resort’s trails and see the area’s unique natural beauty up close. Put your putter to the test on our 18-hole mini golf course, or let the Frisbees fly on our 9-hole disc golf course. Whatever your interests and abilities, you’re going to find something you love at Chestnut this summer. There’s just so much to do and so much fun to be had!

Whether you're looking for a couples or family getaway, company convention, group outing or wedding celebration, Chestnut has you covered!
