Vermont Huts & Trails

The mission of the Vermont Huts Association is to foster a deeper appreciation of our natural environment and strengthen Vermont’s communities by providing enriching and immersive outdoor experiences for all. By collaborating with our partners in recreation, we will create a four-season hut network across the Green Mountain State to strengthen local communities and foster a deeper appreciation of our natural environment. The beauty and allure of the Green Mountains have attracted mountain purists from all over the world. Hard-working Vermonters have created remarkable recreational opportunities for locals and tourists to enjoy. Countless trails were created over the years by skiers, mountain bikers, and hikers. Our mission is to take these individual trail systems and unify them by linking a cohesive network of backcountry accommodations – where huts, cabins, yurts and lodges will exist to enhance our outdoor adventures. These efforts will begin by building new huts in key locations between the Killington to Stowe corridor, while also bringing existing structures into our network. Once these huts have been created, we will then shift location to focus on the NEK and Southern areas of Vermont. This process won’t be easy, but it needs to be done, and that’s what we’re here to do. It will take an enormous amount of statewide and community collaboration to build this network. So, if you operate a backcountry shelter, we’d love to chat with you. If you’re an eager mountain biker or skier, get involved by becoming a member, volunteering, or by just sharing our message with friends / family. The time has come to put Vermont on the map; to be known as one of the few hut-to-hut destinations in the world. To learn more, visit https://vermonthuts.org
