What To Expect

Trapp Family Lodge Outdoor Center

After Cold Hollow Cider Mill, we will drive to Stowe to visit the Trapp Family Lodge. The Trapp Family Lodge sits on 2,500 acres of land, with breathtaking scenic views of Vermont’s Green Mountains. The Von Trapp Family (from “The Sound of Music” fame) chose this location as their home because its scenery is reminiscent their native Austria. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by a welcome sign that reads “The Trapp Family invites you to share a little of Austria, a lot of Vermont.”

Stowe

Finally, our last visit of the day will be in downtown Stowe. With a population of just over 4,300 people, this village is home to many events throughout the Summer, including a hot air balloon festival and many different arts and crafts shows. Here you will find many local artisan shops featuring art, jewelry, clothing, gifts, and number of award-winning specialty foods. There is even a Ski and Snowboard Museum, of interest to those who enjoy downhill Winter sports.

If you're spending one day in Stowe and want to hit all of the hotspots, Natalia is your person to go to! Knowledgeable and friendly, she'll give you the history of the von Trapp family and all the places to go to as well as places to hit elsewhere in Vermont. The eight-hour tour flew by in a flash!

Natalia truly loves Vermont and that is contagious:) Spending a day on her “off the beaten path” tour full of beautiful views and interesting stories was even more than we expected. The guide is not only knowledgeable but also fun and friendly and that creates the best combination for a perfect day in charming state of Vermont. We can’t wait to come back for more.
