Sojourn's Vermont Tour was named a World's 10 Best Bike Tour by Frommer's and recently tabbed by Forbes Travel Guide in their Top 5 US Bike Tours List!

One of the top locations in the world for bicycling, is in our very own backyard. Sojourn's Vermont bicycle tours feature lightly traveled country roads that wind through picture book landscapes and small villages in one of the USA's most beautiful states. Spectacular Lake Champlain is nestled between Vermont's ancient Green Mountains and the imposing high peaks of the Adirondacks. The gentle valley farmland provides miles of fabulous cycling and the mountain foothills are close enough to provide challenging options for those who want them.

Follow country roads through centuries old farmland sprinkled with classic barns and Vermont's signature Holstein cows. Sample delicious treats at a local chocolatier and cycle through several of Vermont's signature covered bridges.

This is a true inn-to-inn Vermont bicycle tour - no vehicle transfers except to/from the airport. Fly into Burlington, frequently listed as one of the top places to live in the US, and we'll transport you the short distance to the start of the tour and return you to the airport at its conclusion.
