Helen, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains on the Chattahoochee River, is a re-creation of an alpine village complete with cobblestone alleys and old-world towers. Alpine Helen is the most popular destination in North Georgia, and third in the state behind Atlanta and Savannah. The rugged beauty of this high mountain watershed known today as the Helen Valley attracts hundreds of people to events such as Bavarian Nights of Summer, a hot air ballon race, Holiday Parade and lights and the longest Okoberfest in the South!
