The Valle Crucis Community

Valle Crucis is a special place. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains between Boone and Banner Elk, Valle Crucis is home to fewer than 1,000 full-time residents but its rich cultural and natural heritage brings thousands of visitors to the community each year. The community was named Valle Crucis, Latin for Vale of the Cross, in the early 1840s by Episcopal Bishop Levi Ives upon discovering that the three creeks located in the valley appeared to form a cross. Today, activity in Valle Crucis is largely centered around tourism. Summers bring large numbers of second-home owners and vacationers to the Valle as they seek to escape the heat of lower elevations.

Historic Significance and Local Attractions

In 2015, the Valle Crucis community was listed as a Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. Mast General Store, Mast Farm Inn, and the Valle Crucis Episcopal Mission are also separately listed on the Register. The Appalachian Ski Mountain has expanded to twelve slopes including two terrain parks serviced by one double chairlift, two quad chairlifts, two conveyor lifts (new in 2010), and one handle-pull lift. The base lodge now covers 46,000 square feet, is smoke-free, and has complimentary WIFI in the restaurant.
