Welcome to the
Orchard at Altapass
 The
Orchard at Altapass is an Appalachian cultural and historical center
celebrating the people, music, art, and natural beauty of the Blue Ridge
mountains in North Carolina. Built by the
Clinchfield
Railroad over 100 years
ago, the Orchard sits right on the Parkway providing some of the most amazing scenery in
the Appalachian Mountains.
While you tap your toes to
our authentic
mountain music
our talented staff
serve up our fabulous
ice cream and our famous Orchard fudge, made
fresh by Miss Charlotte right in the Orchard shop. You are welcome to enjoy
our
local mountain
arts, jams,
jellies, sauces,
sweets, gifts, and more!
Large or small
tour groups and individuals are all invited to take Orchard
hayrides while gazing out at the picture-perfect views
and listening to stories that have shaped our area for centuries.
