Trapp Family Lodge Outdoor Center

There's another great attraction here that I know will enjoy. No trip to Stowe is complete without a visit to the Von Trapp family Lodge. It's the second biggest reason after skiing that visitors come to the area. Situated on 2500 acres this Austrian mountain beauty is run by members of the original Von Trapp family that inspired the movie The Sound of Music.

Stowe Mountain Resort

Stowe’s main resort area is coming up, and it is impossible to miss. It’s the location where the gondola departs, but be aware that the gondola's warm weather operation only begins in mid-September, which is, of course, when foliage season really gets going.
