Everyone coming to the Killington area will want to take the Killington Gondola & Chairlift to reach the 4,241-foot summit of Mount Killington.

They say that this was the point from which the territory of "Verd-mont" ("green mountain") was christened in 1763.

At the top you'll find a cafeteria, cocktail lounge, observation deck, and a self-guiding nature trail.

You can take either the chairlift or the gondola. The chairlift operates all summer, the gondola only in foliage season.

The base station for the chairlift is at the top of Killington Road; it runs daily from early July through Labor Day, and mid-September to early October, from 10am to 4pm.

The gondola base station is on US 4, one mile west of the junction with VT Route 100. It operates daily in foliage season only (mid-September through Columbus Day).
