Embrace nature on holiday in Vermont
Founded in the 1700s by the English and French and located on the northeastern coast of America, bordering Canada, Vermont offers numerous activities and sightseeing opportunities during your holidays, regardless of your age.
The 250 mile range of the Green Mountains boast lush farmland and forestry, as well as bears, moose and deer, and provide the perfect place for a day of hiking, mountain biking and nature spotting. At over 124 miles long and up to 122 metres deep, Lake Champlain is a much-loved spot for boating trips, winter ice fishing, swimming, or setting up camp for a night under the stars.
Known for its skiing, due to its close proximity to Mount Mansfield, Stowe is a delightful village to shop and eat in between all your sporting activities.
Woodstock is also worth a visit, and is famed for its art galleries, tempting dining spots and historic farms. While you’re in the region, you must sample the local Vermont cheese and maple syrup.
Vermont is popular with couples, families and groups looking for a memorable countryside escape. Why not extend your New England trip and visit nearby Montreal, in Canada, or Northern California? Our experts can plan the ideal multi-centre holiday in Vermont.
