Leavenworth Christmas Escape
A Bavarian Winter Story in the Cascades.
A festive two-day escape filled with illuminated Bavarian streets, Cascade Mountain scenery, an overnight stay in Wenatchee and one included ride on the Tumwater Twister alpine coaster.
Christmas in the Cascades
Festive streets.
Mountain magic.
Experience Leavenworth at its most enchanting on a thoughtfully planned two-day journey from the Lower Mainland into the heart of Washington State. Framed by the Cascade Mountains, this Bavarian-style village becomes especially memorable during the Christmas season, when decorated storefronts, glowing streets and alpine scenery create an atmosphere that feels made for the holidays.
Enjoy approximately three and a half hours to explore Leavenworth Village at your own pace, with time for seasonal shopping, photography, cafés and festive displays. Continue the experience with optional Bavarian dining at Ludwig’s German Restaurant before settling into a comfortable overnight stay in Wenatchee.
On Day 2, return to Leavenworth for an included ride on the Tumwater Twister alpine coaster, then step back into the 1950s at the nostalgic 59er Diner & Cabins before the scenic journey home. The result is a balanced holiday escape combining leisure, seasonal atmosphere, family-friendly adventure and seamless transportation.
