GETTING THERE

Nearest Airports

✈️
BTV
Burlington International
About 0.5–1.5 hours
drive time

Approximate planning ranges; allow extra time for traffic and winter conditions.

Burlington International Airport (BTV) is the gateway, about 50 miles north via I-89 and Route 100. The drive takes roughly an hour in good conditions, but Route 100 through the valley is famously scenic and worth not rushing. From Boston, it's approximately 3.5 hours via I-93 and I-89—a drive that reveals increasingly dramatic mountain scenery as you head north. Albany is about 3 hours southwest. Winter drivers should be prepared for mountain roads; all-wheel drive or snow tires are strongly recommended December through March. The valley's north-south orientation means Route 100 is well-maintained, but side roads to lodging can require careful navigation in storms.
