Along the river and through the woods you can go on a charming Victorian-style horse-drawn sleigh ride. Sit side-by-side or face-to-face, warmed by red snowflake fleece blankets. Two sturdy Belgian draft horses lead the open sleigh from The Farm by the River Bed & Breakfast with Stables in North Conway, N.H., through old apple orchards, along the chilled Saco River, and past snowy mountain ranges. Start and finish the idyllic affair with hot chocolate by the fire in the cozy circa 1785 farmhouse. Though it pales in comparison to the company, gaze together at the Mount Washington Valley’s alpine splendor.

2555 West Side Road, North Conway, N.H., 888-414-8353, farmbytheriver.com. $85 couple; February $99 special includes champagne or sparkling cider plus chocolates.
