Little Switzerland
NC
 Little Switzerland North Carolina is an
unincorporated, quaint mountain community
located in the High Country counties of
McDowell County and
Mitchell County NC.
Nestled along the crest of the Blue Ridge
Mountains, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway
at Milepost 334, Little Switzerland offers
breathtaking mountain vistas, convenience to
the High Country's favorite attractions and
a unique charm. Originally founded in the
early 1900s by North Carolina State Supreme
Court Justice Heriot Clarkson, Little
Switzerland NC was named for its similarity
to Switzerland's Jura Mountains. Clarkson
created the community as a private resort 50
miles northeast of Asheville and midway
between Asheville NC and Boone/Blowing Rock NC. The tiny village includes a number of homes, several inns, shops and restaurants in a quiet spectacular setting. Misty Mountain features gorgeous
Little Switzerland North
Carolina Real Estate and other Mitchell
County NC properties in the area.
The
Switzerland Inn is Little Switzerland's most
renowned and recognizable structure in the
center of the village. It
one of the finest inns in the southeast
offering a unique experience to travelers
through old-world charm, generous
accommodations, fine dining, scenic setting
and unique shops. The Switzerland Café and
General Store is also located in the heart
of Little Switzerland and boasts delicious
soups, salads, sandwiches, barbeque and
delectable desserts amidst lovely crafts,
souvenirs, camp supplies, picnic supplies
and beer and wine. Across from the Switzerland Inn are several quaint shops. Trillium Gallery has been offering
handcrafted art, jewelry, pottery, stained
glass, clothing and decorative crafts from
local and nationally renowned artists for
over 20 years. Village Gems is a
delightful extension and display of the
treasures hidden in the area's
NC Gem Mines.
