Winter Activities

Cross country skiing is one of the best ways to experience the winter magic of Vermont. Skis are easily rentable at several shops in Manchester. In no time at all, you can be schussing a trail through Hildene, the Viking Nordic Center, Wild Wings and more.

The Aspen at Manchester is perfectly located in close proximity to both Bromley and Stratton Mountains, two of the most popular skiing destinations in Vermont. Both offer various terrain and slope grades for all ski levels, including snowboarding and children's ski schools.

There's plenty of fun to be had indoors! Visit Riley Rink, less than two miles away from the Aspen, for indoor skating fun!

Nothing says winter in Vermont like a horse drawn sleigh ride at Taylor Farm. Rides last 45 minutes and include a fireside stop to toast marshmallows and enjoy hot cider. Wool blankets are also provided. Come early and pack up a picnic basket of goodies from the farm store!
