Founded in 1978 amid the rolling Green Mountain scenery of Vermont, New Life Hiking Spa is an ideal destination for jumpstarting fitness goals or taking a restorative nature break. Open seasonally from May through September, the spa offers tailored wellness retreats that accommodate a variety of fitness levels and personal objectives. All-inclusive rates vary by length of stay and occupancy, typically ranging from $249 to $279 per person.
Each retreat features daily guided hikes drawn from the property’s award-winning hiking program, three freshly prepared meals per day, one massage for every three-night stay, a private guestroom with an en-suite bath, and a selection of fitness classes and wellness programming. Rather than confined treadmill workouts, guests move along mountain paths and trails, including access to portions of the Appalachian Trail and the Long Trail.
For those seeking a gentler pace, New Life also offers less-intense nature walks through the Vermont countryside around Killington. Guests can choose from more than 21 guided hikes that match their energy and interests. The seasonal program generally runs May 19 through September 30, and includes personal fitness training and nutritional counseling to support lasting lifestyle changes.
Complementing the outdoor activity are a variety of therapeutic spa services designed to promote relaxation and recovery. Offerings include hot stone massage, myofascial release, deep tissue and Swedish massage, reflexology, warm bamboo treatment, Chinese herbal body exfoliation, Amma massage, cranio-sacral therapy, and the Ohashi Method. These treatments, combined with guided movement and wholesome meals, create a balanced retreat focused on well-being and sustainable habits.
Whether you come to challenge your endurance on rugged trails or to decompress with gentle walks and restorative therapies, New Life Hiking Spa provides an accessible, nature-centered approach to wellness. Its combination of expert-led hikes, targeted fitness and nutrition support, and professional spa services makes it a practical choice for anyone seeking a meaningful pause from routine and a boost toward healthier living.
