The landscape is breathtaking. There are soaring mountains, crystal clear streams, rolling pastures, pictureseque hamlets, exquisite forests and and an abundance of pretty lakes.

It is really an inspiring place for a cycling tour.
The community of Vermont are friendly, hospitable and extremely proud of their wonderful natural environment.

Pretty much all of the Vermont bicycle tours available will, not only take you through this stunning landscape, but will also introduce you to the best of what the charming villages on route, have to offer – and that is a lot …
