Nestled in Vermont's Green Mountains, Rutland rests in a wide valley between two mountain ranges, in a natural north-south passage.
To the east three large peaks in the Green Mountain range- Killington, Pico and Shrewsbury flank Rutland. To the west of Rutland are the Taconics. Take advantage of our nearby mountains and lakes and join the thousands or tourists who visit our region to ski, hike, swim and enjoy the autumn foliage. As Vermont's second largest city, rich in natural beauty, melded with a healthy economy and a wonderful history, Rutland is hailed as an ecletic mix of the old and new. We are enjoying great popularity among shoppers, diners and others who have discovered Downtown Rutland.
