Fitness & Wellness

Embrace Wilderness Wellness!

As you exit the freeway and begin ascending the mountain, the quickly changing landscape almost demands that you leave the obligations and stressors of your city life behind. Along the winding drive through pine forests and across panoramic vistas, visitors are invited to slow their pace, admire the beauty around them and truly connect with nature. For residents, the beautiful drive is a warm welcome home!

As you adjust to life on your mountain getaway, look to Big Bear locals for expertise on finding inner balance, meaningful connection and healthy lifestyle activities. Wilderness Wellness experiences are your ticket to getting the most out of your rejuvenating holiday.

Stay Healthy in Nature

Over one hundred miles of National Forest trails allow you to explore the beauty of Mother Nature here in Big Bear. Stop into our Visitor Center for trail maps and advice on the best places to go. Numerous trails are open for hiking and biking year-round while others allow for horseback riding and off-roading. Be sure to purchase an Adventure Pass if you plan on parking in any designated trailhead parking lots.

Summer Fitness on the Water

In the summer months, take advantage of lake activities that keep you moving and exploring. Marinas rent kayaks and paddleboards, letting you access coves and bays where larger motor boats can't go. Swim Beach gives swimmers a safe place to make laps or just splash around, and two wakeboard and waterskiing schools teach newcomers how to ride the wake and help advanced riders hone their skills.

Gyms & Studios

Big Bear is truly the best place to elevate your fitness - literally. Local gyms welcome drop-in visitors who'd like to stay sharp on their weightlifting, Pilates, CrossFit and Yoga.

Spas & Salons

Relaxation is just as important to your overall health as physical activity. Book a massage or body treatment at one of Big Bear's professional spas or touch up those roots and eyebrows at the salon.
