Vermont has thousands of acres of snowy slopes and trails which have long attracted eager skiers and snowboarders, so there is plenty of choice when it comes to the best hotels in Vermont for skiing, from alpine chalet-style affairs in Bromley Mountain or Woodstock, which is close to one of the country’s oldest ski areas, to elegant inns in and around Stowe, and country resorts close to Killington. Or you might want to book hotels along the 300-mile Catamount Trail, which offers intrepid travellers the opportunity to navigate across much of the state on cross-country skis or snow shoes! Whatever type of skiing accommodation you fancy our Gurus have something for you on their list of the best hotels in Vermont for skiing.

For Chalet Chic

- Seesaw's Lodge isn’t just a lodge, it’s a collection of lodges and chalet-style cottages close to the Bromley Mountain ski resort, and one of the most alpine looking and feeling of our Vermont skiing hotel picks. Expect plenty of timber and exposed stone, inside and out, and fireplaces or stoves, but with simple, fresh-feeling details.
