Convenient Hotels

Silverton is a small city to the east of Salem, Oregon. It’s popular thanks to its position as a gateway to Silver Falls State Park. If you’re visiting Silverton for this reason, you’ll likely want to stay in the city.

I suggest staying at Oregon Garden Resort unless it’s fully booked when I recommend Silverton Inn in the city centre.

In Salem

If you’re visiting the region more broadly, you’d be better off staying in Salem, where you’ll have access to a broader range of restaurants and attractions.

Home2 Suites is an affordable option in Salem.

What to Expect

Silverton is near the Cascade Mountains, where there is plenty of outdoor fun, such as skiing, snowshoeing and snowboarding, making it a great spot for the whole family.

The holiday market in Silverton comes alive at the end of the year, filled with local artisans offering unique gifts and handmade crafts. You’ll find cosy scarves, hats, jewellery, and pottery — perfect for thoughtful presents.

Enjoy a whirl on the tubing run or stop to see Santa between shopping. As the day winds down, warm up with a cup of spiked hot cocoa or mulled wine.

Market stalls header.

Market Stalls

  • Pacific Northwest Smoked Salmon: A regional specialty that is well worth trying. Smoked salmon reflects Oregon’s rich seafood tradition. Enjoy it on its own with your crackers or bread.
  • Artisan Chocolate: Many local chocolatiers are on hand. Indulge in some Oregon-made chocolates, which often incorporate local ingredients like Oregon hazelnuts and berries.
  • Glühwein: This German-inspired event wouldn’t be complete without glühwein, a classic mulled wine.
  • Oregon Cheeses: Like in much of Oregon, Silverton is known for its dairy farms. Some stalls will be selling local artisanal cheeses, perfect for your holiday cheeseboards or as a gift for the foodie in your life.
  • Craft Beer: Oregon is famous for its craft beers. Local breweries might sell their seasonal brews at the market.
  • Handwoven Baskets: Oregon is rich in basketry traditions, and you can find handwoven baskets in Silverton. These baskets are not only practical but also works of art.

Responsible Travel Tips

  • Engage with Local Renewable Energy: Oregon has a substantial renewable energy sector, particularly solar and wind energy. Booking an eco-friendly hotel can help support businesses that value sustainability.
  • Reducing Food Waste: Food waste is a significant problem. To address this, adopt mindful purchasing and eating habits.
  • Ethical Consumption: You can make a positive impact by purchasing handcrafted gifts and products made from locally sourced, sustainable materials. By doing this, you’re supporting local jobs and contributing to the local economy.
  • Support Sustainable Diets: Eating locally sourced, plant-based meals can significantly reduce your carbon footprint. Silverton has many dining options, including vegetarian or vegan options.
  • Use Sustainable Transport: Silverton, like much of Oregon, is a great place for cycling, a sustainable mode of transport that provides a good workout. If cycling isn’t an option in winter, consider carpooling or using public transportation for longer distances.
