Top 5 Romantic Winter Spots at The Highlands

Bella Sorpresa

An Italian pop-up dining experience, this little restaurant is in the book of definitions when you look up cozy. Inside is a warm fire, giant windows overlooking the snowy landscape, intimate tables for two (or larger groups), and a glass of bubbly upon arrival to toast to you!

Afterward, take a moonlight stroll on the patio and soak up the cozy romantic moments.

Bella Sorpresa closes for the winter season March 4, 2023.

A Pool with a View

One usually equates romantic moments to evening time, but the heated pool in the morning with a freshly made espresso is top-notch! Nothing beats the nip in the air and the warm temperatures of the water sitting next to your loved one to enjoy the views of the slopes.

The Enchanted Trail

Twinkling lights, a snowy landscape, and a roaring fire at the end?! This practically screams take your loved one on the Enchanted Trail for a romantic evening event! Enjoy the magic of the beautifully lit trail and snuggle up with warm drinks by the fire roasting the perfect s'more.

Upper Heather Warming Hut

Imagine skiing or riding together, enjoying the slopes, and you notice a little wooden cabin with a giant porch to the left of the Heather lift. The snow-covered trees and the valley views are stunning. Pull out a thermos of hot cocoa, snuggle in on one of the picnic tables, and enjoy the quiet moment- just you two together taking in the sights.

Cross Country Skiing

Enjoy the quiet serenity of cruising down groomed trails surrounded by the woodland forests of northern Michigan- the perfect romantic winter activity for two. Grab a pair of skis, some warm clothes, and your favorite person, and hit the trails!
