Winter Things To Do
Vermont is postcard perfect in the winter. It is truly a wonderland blanketed in fluffy white snow. Every type of outdoor activity is nearby, and we are happy to help plan a perfect winter itinerary. Not an outdoor enthusiast? No problem – just cozy up fireside for a relaxing day with a warm beverage and a good book.
