activities. The region’s gorgeously

and bed and breakfasts whose
antiques and period décor set the scene for a modern approach
to hospitality. Athlete or aesthete alike will find in the Berkshires a
soul-satisfying summer retreat.

FALL
WINTER
Crystal-clear
blue
skies…
snow-topped mountains and fields
calling out for ski and snowshoe
tracks… that’s winter in the
Berkshires. So, too, are leisurely
visits to our first-class museums,
soul-satisfying meals at our
many gourmet restaurants, and
just relaxing by the fire at a cozy
New England inns. Whether you
choose to spend your time indoors or out, the Berkshire region is a
welcoming respite in the winter.

Why do so many vacationers flock to
the Berkshires in the fall? Magnificent,
blazing fall foliage is the star attraction,
but harvest festivals, apple picking and
forays on the antiques trail rival the
natural beauty that’s been the area’s
calling card for hundreds of years.

GETTING AROUND
This brochure was created as a handy reference to assist
you during your Berkshire vacation. The Berkshires is
comprised of 32 towns and if you were to traverse it from
tail to tip it would take you about an hour and a ½. In
order to make navigating the Berkshire region simpler we
have created the map below. This map divides our region
into 3 parts: North, Central and South and also lists the
towns within each of these divisions. To further help you
in your Berkshire travels the listings in this brochure are
organized by North, Central and South. So please make
sure to reference the maps provided. Happy travels, the
Berkshires welcomes you.
