Each year, the Big Bear region turns into a winter wonderland. Located in the San Bernardino Mountains, Big Bear is covered in beautiful snow every winter, adorning the trees and ground with a magical touch, making it a perfect place for a winter vacation.
Big Bear often ranks at the top of the list for winter vacations for locals from Cerritos because of its winter wonderland vibe—a feeling we just don’t get here. Luckily, Big Bear offers winter fun, holiday joy, and much more.
The Big Bear community uses its snow-covered landscape for festive activities like sledding, skiing and snowboarding. Local parks are often filled with children sledding down snowy hills, their laughter adding to the holiday spirit.
Big Bear is full of joyful winter experiences, the most notable being near The Village in the city of Big Bear Lake. The Village is filled with holiday spirit, from Christmas trees to twinkling lights. Despite the snow, staying warm is easy thanks to the heated stores and restaurants throughout the Village. Many shops offer holiday-themed goods and foods at moderate prices.
Big Bear provides an escape into nature from the urban pace of Cerritos. Its winter environment allows visitors to leave behind the responsibilities, stress and drama that come with high school, even if just for a few days.
