The newly remodeled 5,506′ is open for summer! Ride the chairlift, hike, or bike your way up to Beech Mountain’s highest point and unwind at this scenic mountaintop destination. With a full bar, light snacks, and panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, 5,506′ is the perfect place to relax, enjoy live music, and soak in the cool mountain air.

There’s no other spot like it in the High Country. Perched at the summit of Beech Mountain, 5,506′ is your reward at the top—whether you hike, bike, or ride the chairlift. Enjoy a cold drink from the full bar, snack on something light, and kick back with friends while soaking in the fresh mountain air. On select weekends, catch live music and watch the sunset paint the sky from the highest bar on the East Coast.

While you can hike to the summit if you’re feeling adventurous, the easiest and most scenic way to reach 5,506′ is by taking the chairlift. Enjoy breathtaking mountain views on your ride up. Lift tickets are available for purchase online, making your journey to the top simple and relaxing.

5,506’ offers light snacks and a full bar. For opening weekend, Claudia’s Authentic Mexican Food Truck will be on site Saturday and Sunday, May 24 and 25. Our kitchen will open for lunch service soon.
