Hike Up to Thundering Falls Trail

Start your date night early with a trip up to Thundering Falls Trail. This nearby hiking trail is the perfect place to catch some of the magnificent sights around Killington. Even if you are not an experienced hiker, you will find the approximate one-mile length of the hike to be more of a walk. However, the trail is isolated from the Appalachian Trail giving you plenty of time to spend alone with your loved one. The actual Thundering Falls is one of the tallest free-falling waterfalls here in Vermont. Feel free to hike up the steep cliff to reach the top where you can find gorgeous views of the area. The more adventurous may wish to continue their hike further up the Appalachian Trail where it will eventually reach Kent Pond. We highly recommend enjoying this date idea during the fall season where the leaves are turning lovely shades of orange and red!

Book a Gondola Ride

Whenever you visit Killington during the summer season you cannot pass up the opportunity to ride the K-1 Express Gondola. While this gondola is used for skiers during the winter season, it is open for romantic rides during the summer. Take your loved one on this exciting gondola that will take you up to Killington Peak, the second highest mountain in the state with an elevation of 4,241 feet. You will find sweeping views of the area below just waiting for you. The K-1 Express Gondola is available during the months of July through October during the hours of 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Tickets can be purchased on site to enjoy this romantic activity.

Living in Vermont has taught us to appreciate the simple things in life—things such as warm gloves that allow you to text without having to take them off, electric heat (fires are romantic and wonderful, but limited in the areas they can heat!), and the ability to take off work early in the midst of winter and hit the slopes for a few hours of fun!

One of Our Favorite Killington Facts is We Love Artists

The beauty of Killington attracts world-class artists from all over, but you don’t have to be a superstar for us to appreciate you. The Art Garage offers paint and sip classes for adults and cool classes for kids to express themselves.

Beer is Our Friend

Long Trail Brewing Company is located in nearby Bridgewater Corners, making their beer a local favorite! Over 180,000 bottles of this German-inspired brew are consumed in Killington every year; make sure you purchase a bottle or two yourself and check out what all the fuss is about!

We Get a LOT of Snow

We average about 250 inches of snow every year, and this is all Mother Nature; we’re not including the manmade stuff! This is why we are home to one of the top ski resorts in the state. Killington Peak is where the action is, with over 71 miles of trails for skiing!
