• Biking from inn to inn: Vermont is a biker's paradise. Serpentine roads wind through verdant hills and along tumbling streams. Several organizations will ferry your baggage from inn to inn; you provide the pedal power to get from one point to the next.

  • Skiing in the Green Mountains: Vermont has nearly two dozen ski areas, with everything from the cozy friendliness of Bolton Valley to the high-impact skiing of sprawling Killington. The state has long been New England's ski capital, and the resorts have learned how to do it right. My favorite? The village of Stowe, where great skiing is combined with fine lodging and dining.
