The journey from Boston Logan Airport takes a little more than three hours, in which time you leave the city well behind, and substitute it for the natural beauty of central Vermont which Americans prize so highly.
A Killington ski holiday puts you at the heart of classic New England countryside, where skiing may well be the most popular pursuit, but hiking and mountain biking are not far behind, with facilities readily available if you fancy change of scenery on your Killington winter holiday. There are also two PGA-standard golf courses, as well as facilities for horse riding and tennis.
