The last mile
The Stratton Mountain access road leaves Route 30 in Bondville, right beside the 7-Eleven. Most Winhall rental homes are a few minutes off Route 30 or the access road. Many sit up hills on gravel roads, so in winter bring all-wheel drive or good snow tires.
Without a car
The Stratton Jitney is a coach service from Manhattan to the mountain. From Manchester, the local Moovers bus connects to Stratton. Once there, a resort shuttle links the village, parking areas and lodging. If you’re renting a house, check whether it’s on a shuttle route before giving up the car.
