Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Burlington!

The city of Burlington is nestled between the sparkling Lake Champlain and the magnificent Adirondack Mountains. This part of Vermont is known for its natural beauty and down-to-earth residents. After you've checked into your hotel, consider a jaunt into town to sample the thriving food scene and try out a local brew.

Day 2 Burlington

Take advantage of your proximity to Lake Champlain and spend a beautiful day on the water. Treat yourself to a boat tour, go fishing, take a bike ride along the shoreline, or enjoy an afternoon at the nearby Burlington Waterfront Park.

While you're here, don't miss a visit to Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop and the other specialty shops at the Church Street Marketplace. 

Day 3 Burlington - Stowe

Today, you'll transition from Burlington to Stowe. The drive should only take about an hour, so you'll have plenty of time to enjoy in both towns. 

For a taste of quintessential Vermont, plan a visit to Smugglers' Notch State Park before checking into you...

Day 4 Stowe

Though Stowe is most famous as a world-class ski destination in the winter, there is a nearly endless list of attractions and activities to enjoy year-round. 

Start your day in the 200-year-old Stowe Village Historic District. Then, set off on the Stowe R...

Day 5 Stowe

Take on Vermont's highest peak with a trip to Mount Mansfield. A distinct landmark for both hiking and skiing fanatics, this ridge line is a draw for visitors in any weather. To summit the mountain you can take the Auto Toll Road, which was originally completed in 1870 for horse-drawn carriages, or you can take the breathtaking Gondola SkyRide to the top. 

Day 6 Depart Stowe

It's time to pack up your bags and head for home.
