Killington Resort

Whether in sparkling snow or lush summer greenery—Killington Resort offers pure thrills all year round. Among the absolute highlights off the ski slopes is the spectacular Beast Coaster. This Alpine Coaster, over 1,400 meters long, winds its way on rails through Vermont’s dense mountain forest. The genius of it: Thanks to the manual brake levers on the sleds, you set the pace yourself. You can either leisurely enjoy the view or zoom down into the valley at top speed through the thrilling 360-degree turns, steep curves, and undulating sections. Since the two-seater sleds are weatherproof, the toboggan run is a blast for the whole family in both summer and winter. In winter, the “Beast of the East” also transforms into the largest ski resort on the U.S. East Coast, with over 150 varied runs for skiers and snowboarders across seven mountain peaks. When the snow melts, outdoor enthusiasts’ hearts race at the massive Killington Bike Park, which, with its downhill trails, ranks among the best mountain biking areas in the region. The adventure is rounded out by picturesque hiking trails, the breathtaking ride on the K-1 Express gondola to the summit, and an alpine high ropes course.
