Snow-covered mountains, warm hospitality, leisurely meals and the simple pleasure of slowing down at von Trapp Family Lodge & Resort.
In Stowe, winter invites you to do a little less and enjoy a little more.
Not every Vermont winter vacation needs a lift ticket or a packed itinerary. Sometimes the best moments are the quiet ones: waking to mountain views, lingering over breakfast and watching fresh snow settle across the landscape. At von Trapp Family Lodge & Resort, those moments are part of the experience.
A cozy getaway begins with having somewhere comfortable to return to. Settle into your accommodations, take in the mountain scenery and give yourself permission to leave a little room in the schedule.
Whether you're visiting with someone special, gathering with friends or simply enjoying a peaceful break, the resort's Alpine character makes winter feel like an occasion in itself.
There's no need to rush into the next activity. The view outside your window may be reason enough to linger.
When you're ready to venture outdoors, you don't have to go far to enjoy the beauty of winter. Snowshoeing offers a peaceful way to experience the resort's snowy landscape, with time to notice the trees, the mountain views and the stillness of the season.
Ask the Outdoor Center about current snowshoeing opportunities and routes suited to your comfort level. A short outing can be just as memorable as an ambitious adventure.
A little adventure, a leisurely afternoon and something wonderful to look forward to.
Few experiences capture the charm of a Vermont winter quite like a horse-drawn sleigh ride. Wrapped in the scenery of snow-covered fields and mountain views, it's the kind of outing that encourages you to slow down and simply enjoy where you are.
When seasonal sleigh rides are available at von Trapp, they offer a memorable way to experience the resort beyond its indoor comforts. Confirm schedules and reservations in advance.
Set aside an afternoon for Stowe Village, where independent shops, inviting cafés and classic Vermont architecture make browsing part of the pleasure.
Stop for coffee, explore a few storefronts or settle in for lunch before heading back toward the mountains. The village is an appealing contrast to the resort's quiet hillside setting.
You don't need an elaborate itinerary. Sometimes a good afternoon is simply discovering a place without watching the clock.
After a day in the winter air, there's something especially satisfying about sitting down to a good meal.
The resort's Austrian heritage adds its own character to the dining experience, whether you're drawn to Alpine-inspired flavors, a relaxed gathering or simply the pleasure of lingering over dinner.
Explore the resort's current dining options and make reservations where recommended. A cozy winter evening deserves to be enjoyed at an unhurried pace.
Some of the best winter memories happen when there's nothing left on the schedule.
As the light fades over the mountains, winter takes on a quieter kind of beauty. The day's adventures give way to warm interiors, good conversation and the simple comfort of being away.
Perhaps you'll settle in with a book, enjoy a leisurely evening with friends or simply watch the snow outside. There's no single right way to spend a cozy winter night.
At von Trapp, the Alpine atmosphere and mountain setting make even the unplanned moments feel memorable.
