# Essential Stowe Travel Guide: What to See & Do

**Discover Stowe, Vermont: Mountain Scenery and Von Trapp Heritage**

Stowe is a charming Vermont mountain town where outdoor recreation, village life, and European-inspired heritage come together. Set beneath Mount Mansfield, the state’s highest peak, Stowe offers a relaxed destination in every season, from snowy winter sports to warm-weather hiking and cycling.

## Explore Stowe Village and the Mountain Road

Stowe’s compact center is easy to explore on foot. From the village, the Mountain Road extends toward the surrounding countryside, carrying the town’s welcoming atmosphere into the landscape.

One of the best ways to experience the area is the **Stowe Recreation Path**, a paved route that follows the valley for several miles. Along the way, it connects visitors with local shops, restaurants, and scenic views—all without requiring a car.

## Discover the Trapp Family Lodge

The **Trapp Family Lodge** is an important part of Stowe’s cultural identity. Established by the von Trapp family after they left Austria in the late 1930s, the property grew from a modest farmhouse into a mountain resort.

Its history connects Vermont with the family celebrated in *The Sound of Music*. The grounds also reflect the region’s active lifestyle, offering trails, cycling routes, sports facilities, dining, and expansive mountain views.

## Things to Do in Stowe, Vermont
