Granite Peak

Ski Town

Most ski areas have to try to create a ski town. We're fortunate. We have a genuine city at the base of the mountain that offers a bounty of lodging, dining, shopping and entertainment options.

Wausau Nightlife

Enjoy a relaxing meal at one of Wausau's many restaurants, or choose a theatre, movie, or musical performance.

Nightlife & the Arts

It may be the end of a fantastic day carving or shredding up the Granite Peak slopes, but it doesn’t have to be the end of the fun. You can look forward to a relaxing whirlpool or dip in the pool at your hotel and satisfying your appetite at one of Wausau’s excellent restaurants, but if what you're looking for is nighttime entertainment, Wausau offers a variety of great choices. Here are a few of our favorites.
