SCHWARZER BERG VI - A WEST VIRGINIA WEEKEND GETAWAY
FRIDAY TO SUNDAY – MAY 16 to MAY 18, 2025
RAIN OR SHINE
Join us for an unforgettable Weekend getaway to West Virginia, the state often called "almost heaven" for its rolling hills, scenic byways, and charming small towns. As the only state entirely within the Appalachian Mountains, West Virginia offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, making it an ideal destination for our Wilderness Trail Region weekend escape.
From the breathtaking New River Gorge to scenic hilltop views and fun driving roads, this weekend promises history, great food, camaraderie, free time to explore local attractions, and of course, lots of Porsche fun! Our HQ for this event will be in the surroundings of White Sulphur Springs & Lewisburg. We will be staying in the unique The Schoolhouse Hotel, a thoughtfully restored boutique hotel transformed from a historic 1912 High School. Expect first-class accommodations with a modern touch, friendly staff, and a relaxing atmosphere.
In the evenings, unwind at The Rooftop bar, featuring handcrafted cocktails, wines, and small plates, or dine at The Varsity Club, where upscale southern classics like shrimp and grits await. Enjoy stunning views of the mountains and surrounding town as we gather and relax after our day of exploring.
Carved by the rivers of the Greenbrier Valley, West Virginia’s driving roads are filled with natural beauty—rolling hills, tree-lined tunnels, and scenic springtime blooms at their peak. Over this Friday-to-Sunday weekend, expect to cover about 650 miles of exhilarating driving. For those joining us, we’ll depart from Bristol, VA on May 16th at noon, but if you prefer, you can meet us directly in White Sulphur Springs, WV.
Schwarzer Berg VI is more than a weekend trip—it’s a chance to strengthen friendships and create cherished memories with fellow club members. As we finalize details, you can expect minor adjustments to the schedule, but rest assured, every aspect—from route planning to restaurant reservations—is being meticulously prepared to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for all.
This is a driving event, not a Bingo-night! You MUST RSVP using the form below to attend this event.
Our main hosting hotel has 30 rooms, act fast if you want to stay there! When you call to make a reservation, give preference for the rooms that are 1-bed rooms, but if you have plans to share a room with someone or the 1-bed rooms were all taken, then go ahead and grab one of the 2-bed rooms.
To reserve a room, call the hotel direct line 304 536 0999 or Sales Office 304 956 2030, inform that you’re with the Wilderness Trail Region PCA group and your reservation is from May 16th to May 18th.

We have not made any arrangements with the hotels below neither we have information about their room’s availability. If you decide not to stay at the event’s hosting boutique hotel, The Schoolhouse Hotel, here are a few suggestions:
If you've attended one of our weekend events before, you know how much effort we put into making each experience smooth and memorable for everyone. Events like these come with costs, so as a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, we’re charging $60 per car, which ***includes a FREE event T-shirt*** (a $29 value) – Men & Women fits available. Entry Fee refundable if cancelled 15 days prior the event.
If you’d like to support our club further, you’ll also have the option to make an additional contribution. This helps us give back to our amazing event volunteers—especially our lead-car drivers who play a huge role in the success of our events.
And if you'd like an extra T-shirt for your passenger, you can order one, too!
Your support helps us to continue organizing events like this one and welcoming PCA members from any of the 149 PCA regions across North America.
PS.: During the check-out, there will be a field asking for extra money to the payment platform Zeffy. It may say something like: Zeffy covers the credit card fees for Wilderness Trail Region PCA and offers a full suite of free fundraising tools for all nonprofits. We recommend changing the suggested amount to 'Other' and type $0 as this contribution does not goes to Wilderness Trail. See example below:
SATURDAY (05/17) – 278 mi. / 6:32h drive + stops
Note:
Complementary Coffee & Pastries at the Lobby of The Schoolhouse Hotel is included. Biscuits to go can be pre-ordered. At the moment, the hotel does not serve breakfast, but that can change until May.
Walking Distance Breakfast options (3 minutes-walk away):
Don't forget to bring a radio (2-Way radio/WalkieTalkie/FRS Radio). Even if you think you won't need it! The BaoFeng UV-5R 8-Watt Ham Radio BaoFeng Radio with Extra 1800mAh Battery is less than $40 on Amazon.
Other models recommended are: Radioditty FS-T1 and Midland LXT630VP3.
We will use channel 5.0 / Frequency 462.662 and if you got a BAOFENG UV-5R and can’t get it on frequency 462.662, let us know and we will send you the instructions – it’s easy!
