2024 Vermont Walking & Hiking Tours

If you like to hike or walk, but don’t want to be confined to a daily group schedule, a self-guided Vermont hiking vacation is an ideal independent getaway.  Benefit from our 49 years of experience in searching out rewarding trails and footpaths and fine Vermont country inns.

Self-guided Vermont hiking and walking packages are all-inclusive and feature 

  • relaxed Old World dinner service at your inn each evening

  • comfortable country inn accommodations (private baths; non-smoking inns)
  • full country breakfast at your inn each morning
  • brown-bag hiker’s trail lunch packed for you by your breakfast innkeeper
  • day use fees when required
  • our hiking trail notes in advance through a fun and informative “Vamoos” app
  • detailed paper local trail maps distributed by the innkeepers
  • an innkeeper’s “trail talk” (orientation to local conditions) each morning
  • housekeeping and waitstaff gratuities
  • Vermont rooms and meals tax (9%).  

Your only out-of-pocket expense on tour is alcohol if desired.  You’ll need use of a car to reach the trailhead each morning and drive on to your next inn each afternoon.  A limited number of rooms with two beds are available if desired (please request at time of booking).
