Find Great Mountain Biking at Sugarbush Resort
Vermont is an incredibly bike-friendly state! And the Mad River Valley in central Vermont is one of the best places for exhilarating mountain biking trails. One of our favorite places to experience this downhill rush is Sugarbush Resort. While, of course, this resort is world-renowned for its excellent skiing opportunities in the wintertime, during the summer and fall, it’s an entirely different scene as these ski runs are ideal for trying your hand on two wheels.
We love to introduce cycling enthusiasts to the Mad River Riders. A founding chapter of the Vermont Mountain Bike Association created a trail network across the state for bikers and hikers to explore and discover. For those who prefer road biking, Vermont offers lightly trafficked, paved small highways connecting small villages. You’ll watch Vermont’s pastoral beauty—with rolling green hills, covered bridges, and farm-dotted fields—pass you by on cycling tours.
Over the years, we’ve hosted hundreds of cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts at our bed and breakfast in Vermont. Our central location, only about five minutes from Sugarbush Resort, offers all skill levels and experience a place to relax after a fantastic day on the trails. One of our nine cozy guest rooms will be your haven to refresh and reset. We’ll take care of your breakfast each morning to fuel you up for the adventures ahead. There’s no better place to stay in the Mad River Valley! Book your room today.

Mountain Biking at Sugarbush Resort
Sugarbush Resort is the perfect destination if you’re looking for some exhilarating lift-served downhill mountain biking in Vermont. With 28 trails available, it’s an excellent spot for both experienced riders and beginners.
