Killington Village
Killington has no main village – shops and restaurants are densely arrayed along a 5 mile long access road.
The main ski area lies at the end of Killington Road in the heart of the Green Mountains of central Vermont, surrounded by beautiful vistas and mountain terrain. Most of the 100 or so places to stay, and a similar number of bars and restaurants are built up along the five-mile Killington Access Road.
There is a good shuttle bus service between the many lodges, stores and restaurants on the Killington Road, but in spite of this most people would consider it essential to have a car for getting around.
Plans are underway to convert the Snowshed Base (pictured above) into a true pedestrian style village. However, at present there is no village in the traditional sense. Those expecting a New England style village along the lines of Stowe will be disappointed. Killington is all about the skiing and the nightlight on the Access Road. Vermont charm is something certainly lacking.
