Explore Killington Bike Park
Serviced by the K-1 Express Gondola, the Killington Bike Park offers a 1,700-foot vertical drop spread across five mountain areas. The park’s trails range from mellow beginner routes to challenging downhill and freeriding areas, and those with more experience can enjoy a variety of natural and man made features on select trails. Lessons and tours are also available for those who are just starting out, so you can learn how to tackle The Beast with the best of them.
