Within the village of Ellicottville downtown, one does not need a car, as the village is very compact and everybody walks. Everything you want to see or do is on or near Washington Street, the main thoroughfare. However, if you are going from town to the ski resorts, you will need a car. Holiday Valley is located about a mile from the village on US 219, and HoliMont is on NY 242 before you enter the village.
