Winter is our longest season in Ely Minnesota, offering great opportunities for the winter enthusiast. Skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, snowmobiling, ice fishing, and the ever-popular dog sledding are some of the winter activities you can enjoy while in Ely. The Ely Winter Festival & International Snow Sculpting Symposium in February is always a fun and exciting time to be in Ely. Enjoy the snow carvings and all the activities that are scheduled for that popular event!

Winter is also a great time to go wolf howling and to view the Northern lights from a frozen lake. These experiences will leave you with a lasting impression. For those of you who just want to relax, why not sit in a chair by the electric fireplace and enjoy a good book while looking over a frozen white wilderness lake.
