Today I'm taking a trip in the mountains of North Carolina to Little Switzerland. This quaint area directly off the Blue Ridge Parkway southeast of Mt. Mitchell, attempts to create a little piece of Europe right here in our backyard. Come explore with me as I walk through the town past the Little Switzerland Inn, the General Store, Cafe, shops, and more!
Located at mile marker 334 off the Blue Ridge Parkway, it's about an hour's drive from Asheville NC.

I live near. Its a nice place to stay. I'm literally 5 minutes away and me and my wife still use it as a getaway because you don't have to go anywhere. We got married in front of that great view. The food is great. And at the pub I meet people from many states and countries. Car clubs like Ferrari, porche, and Aston Martin come and stay every year. It's neat. If you haven't yet tried it then you should.

Love Little Switzerland 💖 we stayed there in 97 or 98 . It is beautiful . I wish you had gone in the lobby and the dining room has a gorgeous view. We also went to Emerald Mountain and found several gems..I had an emerald I found and had it cut and mounted they mailed it to me of course. We also enjoyed traveling and seeing other spots along the Blue Ridge. Would love to go back again.

This is a very cool little place. The views are beautiful. I love the A frame cabins also. It is a shame more things were not open. This looks like it would be a fun place to spend a night or two. Pretty good deal on the ice cream and t shirt. Maybe you and the family can get back for a weekend visit or you and your wife can check out the restaurant for your up coming anniversary. Great video,I enjoyed the blooper at the end.
@MrMountainMan
@MrMountainMan 3 года назад
Yes I would love to go back and eat at some of the restaurants and check out the general store. I'd like to stay there in one of those cabins and we did look. The prices are reasonable. Just this year I'm not 100% sure with everything going on might wait until next year to stay overnight. Yes it would be a great place to eat for a nice Anniversary dinner. You were the 1st on to watch all the way to the end to see the blooper!! It was so funny and loud when I knocked that chair over. Thanks for watching Rita! 😊

Good afternoon MMM! Hope you're still enjoying your vacation. Thought I would watch this again as it popped up on my feed again. I can't like it again but I'll at least leave another comment for engagement purposes. Must just be the interest in the location. All of your videos are so well done and I can't imagine why they all aren't getting thousands of views. Location and of course youtube promotion helps too. My friends dad makes benches and tables just like that bench out of old trees and they are beautiful but he doesn't sell them, just makes them for family and friends. I haven't gotten one of those yet but he did make me a nice porch swing. Have a great day!!!

I've been up there one time. It was very beautiful, but I got stuck on this very narrow road on the side of a mountain with No guardrails. I took a wrong turn. And I could not even turn around for a while. I don't even see how 2 cars could pass each other on that road. It was way too narrow for 2 cars and it had these sharp drop offs down the side of the mountain. It freaked me out.

Hello, does is snow in this area? Looking to go to North Carolina for December. Any suggestions?
@MrMountainMan
@MrMountainMan Год назад
Hello so unfortunately there is no guarantee of snow as we've had it in the 70's in December. The method to find snow can be about elevation. The Western North Carolina area ranges from around 1500'-6700'. It can be 45 degrees at 2000' and snowing at 5500'. Problem is there aren't many places to stay at higher elevations. Another thing to do is chase the snow. Sometimes it may not be snowing in Asheville but head north 1 hour and it could be snowing. A lot of it in December and January is just the luck of the weather. Hope this helps!

This "town" looks more like a mountain resort than a real town. But yes, there are a few European-Style towns in the Americas that look like the ones from Germany and Switzerland. In the States we get Solvang in California and Leavenworth in Washington State. In South America they have Bariloche in Argentina and Gramado in Brazil.

@@MrMountainMan From all of the European-style towns, the most charming one (at least, for me) is "Gramado" in the south area of Brazil. (The south of Brazil has a big German heritage; they even have the biggest Octoberfest beer party outside of Germany in Blumenau, Brazil.)

Looks a lot like our honeymoon in the mid 60's. We got the bridal suit there for the official termination of the courtship, which we did in the middle of the last century. No hookups, we had to do the courtship process. I was a graduating senior and she a junior determined not to let me get away. She graduated in three years. Well she was right. We lasted a little more than 60 years before I had to lay her to her rest up higher in the Smokys, whence she came. Always wanted to take her back there, but I never got it done. Wish she were guiding me. She always new what was right.
