2024 SOLAR SUMMIT SOIRÉE
* SOLD OUT *
A WHITE MOUNTAIN CELESTIAL CELEBRATION AT 3,600FT
April 8th, 2024 | 2:00-5:00PM
This April, the North American Solar Eclipse will pass over Waterville Valley with 98%+ coverage. There's no better place to witness this once-in-a-lifetime event than at the summit of Mount Tecumseh, where you can experience sweeping mountain views and open skies, all the while enjoying a one-of-a-kind viewing party at an elevation of 3,600ft.
Our Solar Summit Soirée is an exclusive viewing party held at the Schwendi Hutte, Waterville's beloved mountain-top eatery. Beginning with a chairlift ride up Mount Tecumseh, you'll make your way over to the Schwendi Hutte, where you'll be able to lounge on the deck, take in awe-inspiring mountain views, and enjoy complimentary champagne and hors d'oeuvres. Cap off the afternoon by watching the total eclipse through complimentary solar eclipse glasses on the Schwendi Hutte deck.
