Welcome to Vermont's Mad River Valley
"The Valley" exudes a unique sense of place. It’s not manufactured or overly polished — it’s authentic, shaped naturally over time by a rare mix of stunning landscapes, close-knit community spirit, and a deep appreciation for art, food, and the outdoors.
From mountain trails to riverbanks, cozy cafés to acclaimed restaurants, local galleries to ski slopes — the Mad River Valley offers four seasons of inspiration and connection. Whether you're visiting for a weekend or planting deeper roots, you'll feel the magic the moment you arrive.
