VERMONT THE GREEN MOUNTAIN STATE

VERMONT STATE GUIDE

Vermont is one of six states that form the New England region of northeastern USA. The Green Mountain range runs down the spine of the state with Lake Champlain and its river valley to the west running along the border with New York state. Both highlands and lowlands make up the topography of the state with beautifully shimmering lakes and winding mountain streams cutting their way through the mountains, valleys and plains that make up Vermont.

The capital city is Montpelier and is home to a population of about 8,000, known as the "smallest capital city of the nation", dubbed the city the 'most scenic state capital'. The largest city is Burlington known as the "Sweet City on the Lake" because of its location overlooking Lake Champlain. Lively, vibrant, Downtown Burlington is the bustling commercial centre and shopping district of the city.

Vermont offers some of the best outdoor pursuits. The range of recreational activities on offer in the state means that each and every visitor will find a pursuit of their choice. Fall is spectacular, from September through to early November, and visitors come to Vermont to witness the leaves changing colour. The winter season is perhaps the most lively of all in Vermont. Skiing is one of the better known activities of the state, with 21 ski resorts, over 900 ski trails, 40 cross country ski centres and 5,700 acres of snowboarding terrain. There are plenty of other recreational options to pursue: snow mobiling, ice skating, sledging and husky sleighs to name but a few. The peak snowfall season is between November and March.
