Plan the Best Vermont Getaway this Winter

Couples searching for the best Vermont getaway in winter often find themselves drawn to Warren and Waitsfield. The Mad River Valley brings together snowy mountains, quiet forests, and small towns that seem made for cozy trips for two. You can start your day with downhill runs at Mad River Glen or Sugarbush, two Vermont Ski Resorts with mountains that offer very different feels.

Mad River Glen keeps its classic charm with skier-only terrain and a laid-back atmosphere, while Sugarbush gives you two peaks, wide-open views, and more than a hundred trails to explore. Both contribute to the valley’s appeal as the best Vermont getaway for couples who love skiing.

There are also many other gentle and peaceful outdoor adventures. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are popular throughout the valley, especially at Blueberry Lake and Ole’s Cross Country Center. If you prefer a guided experience, Clearwater Sports offers a Full Moon Snowshoe Dinner Tour where you walk under the stars before sharing a warm meal. It is one of the many moments that make your vacation the best Vermont getaway.

Another classic Vermont experience is finding the historic covered bridges peppering the landscape in these iconic small towns. These architectural marvels take on postcard-quality when coated in fresh snow, and the Warren Covered Bridge is a perfect place to start. You can continue exploring the neighboring bridges on a scenic drive, stopping for photos along the way.

If you want a memorable outing, the Vermont Icelandic Horse Farm offers winter rides on gentle horses known for their smooth gait. It is a rare experience in New England and another reason couples choose this region for the best Vermont getaway each year. These are just the beginning of the best things to do in Vermont this winter!
