The beauty of Vermont begins the moment you enter the state. A land of fields and forests, glistening lakes and gentle mountains, it is relentlessly beautiful.

A commitment to preserving wide open spaces including the absence of billboards makes the views even more appealing. Autumn brings a blaze of colour; amber, gold, crimson like nowhere else in the world!

Vermont is New England as it was. Village greens with classic clapboard houses and pristine steepled churches stand side by side working farms where golden maple syrup is tapped from tall trees.

For those who love outdoors, enjoy Vermont’s hiking trails, fishing and scenic drives. Winter offers some of the best skiing in Eastern US.

In the south of Vermont you will find the most popular scenic drive — Route 100. Visit the lovely gardens and house of Hildene, the Georgian revival home of Abraham Lincoln’s son or the designer outlets in Manchester.

Don’t miss Woodstock, the quintessential New England village. With a covered bridge in the middle of town and stately homes all around; the village is full of unique shops, galleries, country stores and fine restaurants. Quechee Gorge and Billings Farm and Museum are must dos in this beautiful part of Vermont.

In the north, discover Stowe, New England’s infamous mountain village which transforms each year into a winter playground. Close by is one of the happiest places in Vermont — Ben and Jerry’s ice cream factory tour!
