Wing Haven Travels to Little Switzerland Wednesday, September 1 $135 per person (Hurry! Space is limited and our day trips fill up quickly!) Sorry...this trip is full. Hope you'll join us next time.
The Wing HavenTravel Committee has planned a wonderful day-trip to Little Switzerland. Located high in the Blue Ridge Mountains with elevations ranging from 3200 feet in the village to 4000 feet, Little Switzerland was so named because of its sweeping panoramas of deep valleys and distant ranges resemble those of the foothills of the Swiss Alps. The $135 fee covers transportation, lunch, snacks and a donation to Wing Haven.
For more information and a registration form, please download our Little Switzerland Registration Form or call the Wing Haven Office at 704/331-0664.
