Discover Vermont’ s Winter Wonderland
Snowy adventures, holiday traditions and warm hospitality await in the mountains of Stowe.
Set on 2,600 acres in Stowe, Vermont, von Trapp Family Lodge & Resort has welcomed visitors for more than seventy-five years. The von Trapp family— whose story inspired The Sound of Music— made this corner of Vermont their home after fleeing Austria, drawn to its rolling hills and familiar mountain landscape.
Over the decades, the resort has evolved into a destination for winter recreation, with Johannes von Trapp opening the first cross-country ski center in North America. Today, the resort’ s extensive trail network offers more than sixty kilometers of terrain for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and backcountry skiing. If you’ re feeling adventurous, make the three-mile trek to Slayton Pasture Cabin, where a roaring fireplace, homemade soups and warm drinks await, or venture out after dark for a guided snowshoe tour by headlamp. After a day on the trails, cozy up fireside with Austrian-inspired dining and craft lagers from von Trapp Brewing— a nod to the family’ s heritage and a fitting end to a day in the snow.
During the holidays, the Lodge comes alive with festive traditions. By mid-November, the resort is decked out for Christmas, including ten beautifully decorated trees throughout the Lodge, each with its own unique theme. Guests can take part in gingerbread house decorating, ornament making and horse-drawn carriage rides around the property, while Christmas and New Year’ s celebrations feature elaborate holiday buffets, live music and family entertainment. von Trapp Family Lodge & Resort
