Summer Activities
Mountain Biking
Featuring 10 of the best lift-served gravity trails in the Midwest, and 10 additional miles of purpose built single track, Giants Ridge has trails to suit any rider.
Both the gravity and xc trails range from easier to extremely difficult. The trail system is designed to allow progression from novice riders all the way through advanced.
Disc Golf
The Giants Ridge disc golf course is one of Minnesota’s most beautiful and very best!
Covering over 80 acres and up to 10,000 feet (champion position) of fairway distance, our course is also Minnesota’s longest.
Climbing Wall
Whether for fun or fitness, grab a hold of our new, challenging climbing wall and enjoy a peak experience!
Located near the Main Chalet at Giants Ridge, it’s perfect for family and group activities, as well as team-building events and even corporate challenges.
Hiking
Giants Ridge offers six beautiful hiking trails that traverse through the scenic alpine mountain, our serene nordic trails, and through the surrounding Superior National Forest.
If you’re looking for an all encompassing experience, the Sleeping Giant and Northface trails can be easily combined into a loop. Be sure to check out our lift-served Ridgeview Overlook and Wynne Lake Vista trails for beautiful views from the top of the Giants Ridge.
Scenic Chair Rides
The “Sarajevo Express” chairlift (a high-speed quad lift), transports guests to the top of the Giants Ridge mountain where they may enjoy majestic views of the Superior National Forest and surrounding area.
The view from the Giants Ridge mountain is truly one of the Iron Range’s hidden gems and creates a whole new Giants Ridge experience for resort guests.
Children's Play Area
The Children’s Play Area at Giants Ridge is conveniently tucked between the Main Chalet at Giants Ridge and The Lodge at Giants Ridge.
As the seasons allow, the Giants Ridge Children’s Play Area is the perfect spot for families to wear off some extra energy, while enjoying your Giants Ridge adventure.
