Mountain Biking

Where to Mountain Bike in the Killington Region

The Killington Region is a great place for mountain biking.  There are several trail systems in the region that provide a variety of terrain for every type or mountain biker, from very beginner to expert.  The moderate temperatures in the mountains of Vermont are perfect for enjoying sport.  The mountain biking season begins in spring and continues into late fall.  Lift-served downhill mountain biking at Killington Resort begins in late June and ends on Columbus Day Weekend in October.  Before and after the lifts spin, there are miles and miles of single-track at Pine Hill Park in Rutland and on the Green Mountain Trails in Pittsfield.  There is truly something for everyone here!
