Stratton Mountain Resort
A large ski resort on the highest peak of southern Vermont, one of the birthplaces of snowboarding, with an alpine-style village at its base.
Stratton Mountain rises about 1,200 meters and is the highest peak in southern Vermont. The resort has about 99 trails and 11 lifts, including gondolas, with slopes ranging from beginner to expert. It is also one of the birthplaces of snowboarding, where pioneer Jake Burton promoted the sport. The village at the base has hotels, restaurants and shops in an alpine-town style. In summer and fall you can hike the Appalachian Trail or the Long Trail to the summit, where the fire lookout tower offers excellent views. The resort is about 25 kilometers (30 minutes' drive) from Manchester. On weekends during ski season, you need to book lift tickets in advance.
