              The Bavarian Lodge

              Taos Ski Valley, New Mexico

              About your stay

              By Nancy Zimmerman, Jetsetter Correspondent

              It’s as if someone uprooted a traditional Alpine ski chalet and plopped it, totally intact, onto the impressive terrain of Taos. This cozy log-and-timber lodge houses an acclaimed restaurant, luxury suites filled with antiques and the warm ambience of an Alpine-style retreat. Amid New Mexico’s storied Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the Bavarian offers old-world elegance with ski-in/ski-out convenience.

              What we love

              • Mid-mountain location at the foot of the Kachina lift
              • Shuttle to the lower ski village available for those who don’t want to ski down
              • Nearby Taos (15 miles southwest), with its galleries, funky shops and Indian pueblo architecture
              • Year-round outdoor activities

              What to know

              • Ski Taos from early December to mid-April and hike during late May to early October
              • The Bavarian and the restaurant close from April to Memorial Day and again from mid-October to Thanksgiving.
              • The Kachina lift is approximately $70 a day during ski season
              • Bavarian polka music in the restaurant might not appeal to everyone
              • No handicap access; all accommodations are up a steep flight of stairs
              • The altitude (10,000 feet) is not for the faint of heart
