"Bordered by the Green Mountains to the west and Northfield Ridge to the east, the Mad River Valley is defined by this narrow 26-mile ribbon of a river - just several dozen feet across at its widest points - that flows north from its headwaters in Granville, through the picturesque towns of Warren, Waitsfield, Fayston and Moretown, before emptying into the Winooski River.

Well known as a winter skiing destination, the Valley reveals itself in warmer weather, when history, culture and a hyperlocal food scene come to the fore."
