Local Convenience with Global Connections
A mosaic of vibrant cities and family farms form the character of our iconic Virginia valley. Nestled between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains, the Shenandoah Valley’s scenic back roads connect you to Interstates 81 and 64 for effortless travel to larger metropolitan areas along the East Coast. The Shenandoah Valley Airport (SHD) provides local convenience with global connections with daily round-trip flights to Charlotte-Douglas International Airport (CLT) via Contour Airlines, a partner of American Airlines.
