Fall in Vermont

When Vermont's leaves burst into vibrant color, Stratton’s Harvest Fest brings flannels and Fall cheer to the Village with endless family fun. Enjoy live music, scenic lift rides, peak fall foliage, and delicious food options along with the season finale of mountain biking, scenic lift rides and golf.

Take a ride up the gondola for the best views in the state.

From the top of the Fire Tower, you will find 360-degree views, leaving you awestruck with Autumn aspects. Ride through the trees in the Stratton Bike Park, tee off into fall foliage at the golf course, or simply kick your feet up and listen to the music of Saints & Liars for Stratton's annual HarvestFest celebration.
