Most visitors know about our great skiing. But the Rutland and Killington areas have festivals and activities all year round, especially during the Spring and Summer months when the weather is warmer. From wine festivals to music festivals to hot-air balloon festivals, the Edelweiss Lodge is conveniently located to enjoy them all.
