Summer, Other Activities

Not all of the Mad River Valley’s activities revolve around recreation. We urge you to enjoy other opportunities, like soaring over the Valley in silent glider! Take a chairlift ride at Sugarbush – and hike or ride back down. Ask a local person about secret swimming holes, or stop at a yard sale to find a treasure.  Bring the children to the library for story time – or visit the historical exhibit at the General Wait House in Waitsfield.  Visit the Icelandic Horse Farm and get to know some of the Valley’s most interesting denizens.
