 Vermont is famous for its country inns, covered bridges, and recreational opportunities: in the summertime there is hiking, biking, swimming and sightseeing; in the winter, snowmobiling, snowboarding, skiing downhill or cross-country, skating, and autumn is, or course, Vermont's incredibly beautiful foliage season. Sugarbush, Sugarbush North and Mad River Glen combine in Fayston, Warren and Waitsfield to provide one of the USA's most complete ski resorts. Dominating Vermont's geography are the Green Mountains, one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world. The nation's sixth largest lake, Lake Champlain, runs along the state's western border. Vermont offers outstanding motels, hotels and resorts to make travel there memorable. Montpelier, Vermont's capital city, has some well-preserved historic neighborhoods and attractions like Vermont State House and the Vermont Historical Society Museum; and of course it is handily placed in the heart of Vermont ski country.
