In Banner Elk North Carolina, the Balcony of the Blue Ridge, you can gaze out across mountain ridges stretching almost 100 miles to the horizon, play among the clouds, and renew your soul. Banner Elk is in Avery County, the northwest mountains of North Carolina, in a region known as the "High Country." Avery encompasses Banner Elk and several small communities of less than 1,000 year-round residents. With four major ski resorts in the immediate area, the county has evolved into a premiere southern destination for skiing, snowboarding and Banner Elk NC vacation homes.
