Vermont Bicycle Tours

The most beautiful rides in Vermont

Smugglers Notch Cycling’s goal is to provide each and every cyclist the most amazing and memorable bicycle tour experience possible. Since our tours are exclusively in three areas, we know the rural and back roads better than anyone, so come with us and enjoy The most beautiful rides in Vermont!

Smugglers Notch Cycling offers guided bicycling tours on the roads of the Vermont countryside surrounding Stowe and Smugglers Notch, the Lake Champlain Islands and the Green Mountains. The three different tours are each one week long with bike rides Monday through Friday and include a two-hour sailing cruise with dockside lunch Saturday on Lake Champlain, creating an unforgettable experience. Custom tours for 2-4 day rides are available, and if already lodging in the area, a single day tour is an option.

Tours are limited to six cyclists, and every ride is designed with a daily mileage of 20 to 40 miles, extremely low traffic, and magnificent scenery. Lodging is in the iconic village of Stowe, where cyclists will be transported daily from the Inn to the ride start point and transported back to the Inn after the ride. Afternoons may include kayaking on the Lamoille River, a winery, the Trapp Family Lodge or Bierhall, a Mt Mansfield gondola ride, a horse-driven carriage ride, and a drive through Smugglers Notch.

Tour Areas

Vermont Countryside

The countryside surrounding Stowe and Smugglers Notch is some of the most beautiful for riding in all of Vermont, with green rolling hills, farms with old red barns, grazing cows, twisting rivers, storybook towns and unrivaled mountain views.

Lake Champlain Islands

The Lake Champlain Islands are South Hero, North Hero, Isle La Motte and Grand Isle, and has been aptly named The Beauty Spot of Vermont. Ride next to the water with views of Vermont’s beautiful Green Mountains or New York’s amazing Adirondacks.

Green Mountain Climbs

The Green Mountains of Vermont offer some incredible ascents including Middlebury Gap, Appalachian Gap, (with a spectacular summit view of Lake Champlain), and also, both sides of the challenging and breathtaking Smugglers Notch.
