Giants Ridge also features snowshoe trails: Northface, Single Track and Lower & Upper Sleeping Giant. Trails may be accessed from the mountain base. Snowshoes are available for rent and trail passes are required.

Giants Ridge offers a 63 km world-class trail system that winds its way through the landscape of the Superior National Forest. Set amongst towering pine trees, our pristine trail system presents long, gradual grades, spectacular vistas and a variety of challenge for beginners through accomplished skiers. Three kilometers of Nordic skiing are lit for night skiing, and numerous trails are accessible by chairlift at the top of the mountain. Additionally, the Giants Ridge nordic trails are open to fat tire biking (subject to snow conditions) – one of the hottest new winter sports in the Midwest!
