Be an Outsider with L.L.Bean

All of us at Berkshire East are excited to continue our partnership with L.L.Bean this summer!  Together, we are committed to providing exceptional outdoor experiences. This collaboration aims to promote a family-friendly atmosphere and encourage individuals to immerse themselves in rewarding outdoor activities.  

Below are the exciting activities that we've curated for the summer and are thrilled to offer at a substantial savings thanks to L.L.Bean.

We look forward to having you join us this summer!

The Aerial Adventure Park is a series of self-guided challenges in the trees with two courses to choose from. Each course is similarly conceived with platforms suspended from a gorgeous pine grove connected by Indiana Jones bridges, Tarzan swings, rolling zip-lines, TrueBlue free falls, and other challenging obstacles to navigate.

After an initial instruction from our trained staff, this adventure allows you to move throughout the two courses at your own pace and at the level of difficulty you choose.

While the self-guided component of the adventure enhances the experience, don’t worry, our trained and friendly staff are there to assist you if needed.

The Children’s Tree House Trail is a netted course designed for kids ages 3 and up. Moving from platform to platform amongst the trees, kids will navigate a series of fun elements, such as netted bridges, Burma bridges, tunnels, and a small zip line. This course is netted, meaning no harnesses are necessary, allowing kids to explore this “Swiss Family Robinson” type environment on their own terms while still being supervised by our trained staff.

IMPORTANT INFO

Think of the Mountain Coaster as a combination alpine slide and roller coaster. The Thunderbolt takes riders up 1,580 feet of up-track through the forest before the cart disengages and gravity takes over.

The 3,870 feet of downhill track are designed with swooping turns, banked corners, rolling drops, and 360° turns. Each cart is equipped with its own braking system, allowing you to slow speeds to a comfortable pace or accelerate to G-Force inducing levels.

PLEASE NOTE: You are not making a reservation for a specific time; to better assist with capacity management, there are a limited number of rides per day. Please purchase your tickets in advance to guarantee a ride on the coaster. Be aware that, at times, there will still be a line to get on the ride. For each ride you purchase, you will have to re-enter the line queue.

IMPORTANT INFO

• Minimum Age: Driver: 9 years old | Rider: 3 years old
• Minimum Height: Driver: 52″ | Rider: 36″
• Maximum Weight 300lbs total per cart (individual or combined weight)

Zip over the Deerfield River Valley at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour on six zip lines with spectacular views!  The Valley Jump Tour is our most exciting zip line tour with lines ranging in length from 1,000’ to 2,600’ and approaching 200’ in the air.

Please check-in 30 minutes prior to your scheduled trip time on the second level of the Main Lodge at Berkshire East Mountain Resort.  Here, you will meet your guides and get geared up.

After a scenic chairlift ride to the top and a zip technique orientation by your guides, you will proceed to Valley Jump Zip 1. This zip line is one of the longest in Massachusetts!

Three increasingly longer and faster zip lines, and a series of short hikes around the summit of Berkshire East, bring your to the start of the Valley Jump.  

X1 - or ‘eXtreme’ Zip 1 is a 2,300' zip line that is also the first dual-zip racing cable on the tour. Riders will fly 150’ in the air and approach 60 MPH. A landing across the valley will present you with a 5-10 minute hike to the summit of a neighboring mountain.

X2 - or ‘eXtreme’ Zip 2 is the longest zip line at Berkshire East and, the most exciting!  With huge views - especially during the fall foliage season - this zip line is awesome!  X2 is 2,600’ long, nearly 200’ in the air, and has been described as the “Experience of a Lifetime.”

These unique dual racing lines provide the opportunity to challenge your friends and zip side-by-side through the treetops! After the six zip lines, the tour culminates in the perfect - and unique in the industry - downhill chairlift ride from the summit of the mountain back to the base.
