About the Area

Located in Northwestern and Central Vermont, Chittenden, Franklin, Grand Isle, Lamoille, and Washington Counties collectively have an estimated population of over 300,000 residents and a land area of 2400 square miles. The Green Mountains run the entire length of Vermont and are part of the Appalachian Mountains that stretch from Canada to northern Alabama in the United States. Burlington, Montpelier, Waterbury, and St. Albans are the larger areas served by GMT. The area is consistently listed in many publications as the “Top places to see Fall Foliage.”

Burlington is Vermont’s largest city. It is beautiful and home to a thriving arts scene, creative entrepreneurship, great shopping, three colleges, and a university, and a full range of four-season outdoor pursuits. This friendly city consistently earns national awards. Festivals are held all year long with events like New Year’s First Night Celebration and the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival attracting visitors throughout the northeast. The city harbors excellent museums and galleries too. The waterfront offers ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center to learn about the history and ecology of Lake Champlain. Nearby Pine Street and downtown are full of contemporary galleries, and the University of Vermont’s eclectic Fleming Museum.

Montpelier is the nation’s smallest state capital. Montpelier is located in a remarkable valley along the Winooski River. Montpelier’s intimate size, historic neighborhoods, and diverse community make it a wonderful city to visit, live, and do business. The Waterbury-Montpelier Region is also known for its many institutions of higher learning, its historic and architectural riches, and its world-class ski resorts.

Waterbury is the home of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream factory. The area is home to many retail shops including Lake Champlain Chocolates, Cold Hollow Cider Mill, and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. Waterbury serves as a launch point for recreational and cultural adventures along the Green Mountain Byway. The entire Waterbury-Montpelier Region is rich in Vermont quality and tradition.

St. Albans is the county seat of Franklin County and is the Islands & Farms region of Vermont. The City of St. Albans is only 15 miles from Vermont’s border with Quebec and is the northern terminus of the “Vermonter” Amtrak route. St. Albans, known as the “Maple Syrup Capital of the World,” is home to the Vermont Maple Festival.
