welcomes you to the beautiful North Carolina Mountains.
Banner Elk is the hub of Avery County's energetic resort
region featuring premier ski slopes, outstanding golf
courses, popular travel attractions, and many other
recreation opportunities. Visitors to the Avery County area
are thrilled by our beautiful mountain scenery, area
wildflowers, and even Banner Elk's famous Woolly Worm
