Public transportation is provided in town via Green Mountain Transit (GMT). In winter and early spring, guests can take GMT's free Mountain Road Shuttle from Stowe Village to Stowe Mountain Resort. In the warmer months, bicycles are a great option for shorter distances. Stowe also has fantastic mountain biking trails, hiking trails, and walking paths. Peg's Pick-Up Stowe Taxi and Uber are also available for taxi services in/around Stowe.
