Press for New Life Hiking Spa in 2018
Just in time for New Life Hiking Spa’s 40th Anniversary, the popular hiking and weight-loss resort is returning home to Killington Mountain, Vermont. Moving back to the property New Life spent almost a quarter of a century, the newly renovated Killington Mountain Lodge will offer spectacular lodging accommodations to accompany New Life’s award-winning wellness programming.
New Life Hiking Spa is one of the oldest and most established destination spas in the United States. It has been listed as the #1 spa on Spas of America Top 100 Spas list for three consecutive years and was named the #1 Destination Spa in 2016 by Travel + Leisure Magazine.
Founded in 1978, New Life Hiking Spa was created by Jimmy LeSage, M.S. on Stratton Mountain, Vermont and moved to the newly built Inn of the Six Mountains on Killington Mountain in 1990. For 24 years, New Life operated each spring-fall season at the Inn and experienced tremendous growth by offering affordable, authentic and all-inclusive hiking spa and wellness retreats. The Inn of the Six Mountains was sold in 2014 to Innisfree Hotels and New Life has been operating out of another hotel in the Killington vicinity for the past three years.
“The renovations are now complete at the former Inn of Six Mountains and has reopened as the newly re-branded Killington Mountain Lodge,” says Jimmy LeSage, founder, and director. “We are ready to move back for our 40th Anniversary. The staff and I are extremely excited to offer these wonderful accommodations to our guests. It’s like we are returning home after a huge renovation.”
The New Life program accommodates up to 50 guests at a time, and each year people travel from around the world to attend 21 night extended wellness vacations, eleven-night weight loss retreats, five-to-ten night Jump Start Getaways and two-to-four night mini-wellness escapes.
All-inclusive packages include a private room with a private bath, three levels of guided hikes every day, all fitness classes and wellness programming, three freshly prepared healthy meals each day, snacks, cooking demos, and nutrition lectures and one massage for each three-night stay. Prices range based on length of stay from $229 – $279 per person, per night.
Located at the Appalachian Trail and Long Trail, New Life offers diverse terrains that will challenge hikers at every level. Because the number of guests is limited, each visitor is able to focus on his or her individual needs with the support of New Life’s superb staff, who help guests change eating, exercising and living patterns over time. Plan ahead and secure your spot for 2018, as New Life Hiking Spa often sells out months in advance. The 2018 dates will be May 17 – October 1.
