Sport for all seasons at Ellicottville
The main winter-sporting activity is centered on Holiday Valley, which borders the town to the south. The resort dates back to the 1950s, when it opened with just 4 runs and a single lift.

Today’s winter visitors can choose from dozens of different runs, catering for all abilities, as well as a variety of après-ski activities, while the summer months bring the chance to tackle the challenges of an 18-hole golf course.
