Arriving in Little Switzerland, after curving your way through the Pisgah National Forest on the famous Blue Ridge Parkway, is an experience that words won’t properly convey. Discovering a charming Swiss Village amidst the ancient woodlands, just outside of McDowell County, feels magical in the truest sense of the word. Once you arrive, you’ll have to stay and explore, if only to ensure this is all real and not a daydream.
Little Switzerland: The Mountain Outpost

Named in 1910 for its resemblance to the Swiss Alps, today it provides respite to motorcycle enthusiasts and mountain adventurers, featuring boutique shopping and dining, gem mining, local arts and crafts, and iconic nearby hiking trails.
