Tour Overview
The Perfect Vermont Bike Tour Over a Weekend
This Vermont weekend bicycle tour is based on the shore of Lake Champlain, just south of Burlington. Ride a selection of routes from our Lake Champlain Valley Tour that was named a World’s 10 Best Bike Tour by Frommer’s and Forbes Travel Guide’s Top 5 US Bike Tours List!
Your Vermont weekend cycling trip begins with a welcome reception and dinner overlooking Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains at beautiful Basin Harbor Club. Lake Champlain is one of the most historically significant and beautiful waterways in the US, and numerous historical points of interest are accessible by bicycle. Visit the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, Crown Point Historic Site, and the beautiful town of Essex – just a boat ride across Lake Champlain in New York.
Over the next three days choose between a selection of cycling options and also enjoy the plentiful activities the Basin Harbor Club has to offer. The variety of route options will satisfy a wide range of cyclists from those who want to leave plenty of time to enjoy the Basin Harbor Club, to those who want to ride every possible mile. Sojourn’s extraordinary tour leaders will ensure that each guest finds their own perfect combination of activity and relaxation.
Cycling routes follow country roads typical of those that have made Vermont a world renowned destination for bike tours. Local bakeries, cafes, and chocolate makers all beckon you to hop off your bike for sampling and colorful Adirondack chairs on the lawn overlooking Lake Champlain invite relaxation on a lovely afternoon.
