You clip in at the Welcome Center, the air cool with the scent of hemlock and maple. Guides run a brisk Ground School while the forest hums; then you climb—platform to platform—until the trees take on the scale of a living skyline. Over 2.5–3 hours you move through eight ziplines, cross two suspension bridges and rappel twice from towering trees, with intermittent views slicing across the Green Mountains.

You clip in at the Welcome Center, the air cool with the scent of hemlock and maple. Guides run a brisk Ground School while the forest hums; then you climb—platform to platform—until the trees take on the scale of a living skyline. Over 2.5–3 hours you move through eight ziplines, cross two suspension bridges and rappel twice from towering trees, with intermittent views slicing across the Green Mountains.
The route threads mature hemlock, white birch and sugar maple, species that shaped local logging and syrup traditions. Geologically, the Green Mountains are ancient metamorphic ridges—rounded summits and steep valleys carved by glaciers—so expect variable slope and compact, rocky soils at trail approaches. Culturally, Smugglers' Notch sits near Jeffersonville and Stowe, communities with deep outdoor and winter-sports history; the canopy tour is a seasonal extension of that outdoor economy.
Practically, guides teach braking and safety before you go—this isn’t passive sightseeing. Guests should be able to hike short, uneven sections and climb stairs; hand braking is required on descents. Weight limits (70–250 lb), age and waiver rules apply, so check requirements before arrival. Wear closed-toe shoes, weather-appropriate layers and bring water; camera use is usually restricted on line for safety. Bookings are instant confirmation with free cancellation up to 24 hours. Whether you’re chasing a fall-color rush or a summer canopy fix, this ArborTrek course offers a compact, high-adrenaline way to experience Vermont’s upland forest from above.
The full experience runs about 2.5 to 3 hours, including safety briefing, short hikes between platforms, and the ziplines and rappels.
Yes—guests must weigh between 70 and 250 pounds; anyone under 14 must be accompanied by a ticketed, participating supervising companion who meets the height requirement.
No prior zipline experience is required—guides provide Ground School and coach you on braking and rope techniques throughout the course.
Wear closed-toe shoes and weather-appropriate layers; avoid loose items and bring a small water bottle—cameras and phones may be restricted on lines for safety.
