Madonna Peak stands at 3,664 feet above sea level and is along the Long Trail, a famous thru-hike in Vermont. This beautiful mountain is part of Smuggler's Notch Ski Resort and there is a chairlift that takes skiers all the way to the summit in winter. During the summer you will encounter hikers rather than skiers, but far fewer than the amount you might have passed headed up to Sterling Lake if you took the Sterling Lake Trail to get here. At the summit of Madonna you get fantastic, panoramic views of surrounding Green Mountains and on clear days, you might be able to see Mount Washington in New Hampshire!
