Whether you’re flying in from near or far, Killington, Vermont is nestled in the heart of Vermont’s Green Mountains and surrounded by some of the most scenic drives in New England. While there’s no direct public transportation to the area, renting a car is essential — and part of the fun! The journey itself is a highlight, with winding country roads, covered bridges, and charming small towns along the way. Burlington International Airport is the closest major option, but several others offer convenient routes depending on your travel plans.

Burlington (BTV) – ~1.5 hrs • Small, efficient • Closest & most scenic

Boston Logan (BOS) – ~3.5 hrs • Major hub • Most flight options

Albany (ALB) – ~2 hrs • Medium size • Easy West Coast access

Hartford Bradley (BDL) – ~2.5 hrs • Medium size • Central New England access

Rent a car you’ll love driving. An all-wheel-drive (AWD) vehicle is ideal for Vermont’s mountain roads — especially in October when the weather can shift quickly.

Take your time. Plan for a few scenic stops along the way; there are maple stands, farm markets, and overlooks that are worth every minute.

Fuel up before you go. Many routes between towns are rural and picturesque — meaning gas stations and coffee stops can be spaced out.

Download your map offline. Cell service can be spotty in the mountains, so having Google Maps or Apple Maps downloaded ensures you’ll never miss a turn.

Embrace the drive. The rolling hills, covered bridges, and bursts of fall color are truly unforgettable — your Vermont adventure begins the moment you hit the road!
