The Vermont city of Burlington wins several scenic points with its waterside locale — on Lake Champlain’s shores, looking out to neighbour New York and its lofty Adirondack Mountains — but it scores well culturally, too.
If, like Bing, you’re dreaming of a Vermont White Christmas, you’ll find it, adventure packed and cosy, with a bucolic break in Stowe – although this year-round mountain resort has much to offer at any time of year.
