HOSPITALITY - Services by Season

Wilderness living, in extreme comfort, is offered by the Bavarian at the "end of the road" atop Taos Ski Valley, with distinct seasons that have strong and engaging personalities.

Throughout the year, the high-alpine wilderness surrounding sacred Kachina Mountain is accessible by 4-wheel vehicles, 30 minutes above the ancient, multicultural town of Taos, New Mexico. The ambiance in Taos Ski Valley is a laid -back mountain style that combines the best of the American West and the Swiss and German Alps.

"We hope to create a small community of like minded souls who love the mountains and treasure unspoiled wilderness. We are extremely pleased that, after several years of discussion, the Village of Taos Ski Valley has adopted the initial aspects of a Master Plan that envisions the phased, sensitive development of Kachina Village, centered on The Bavarian."

- Thomas Schulze, founder and co-owner of The Bavarian

SPRING / EARLY SUMMER

The ski mountain closes after Easter, but the snow conditions are usually at their best for several weeks thereafter.

The Bavarian opens for the Spring/Early Summer season that runs from Memorial Day weekend until the end of June. During this period, you can enjoy hiking, rafting and other outdoor activities as the mountains awake from winter. There is also great fishing downstream.
