Trapp Family Lodge

Trapp Family Lodge is a ski resort and hospitality property in Stowe, Vermont, covering 2500 acres of terrain. Cross-country ski trails run 100 miles through forested slopes and open meadows with views over the Green Mountains.

The von Trapp family founded the operation in 1950 after emigrating from Austria during World War II and settling in Vermont. The facility grew from a farm the family purchased to combine their musical careers with agriculture.

The property preserves Austrian customs through its design, menu offerings, and programming that connect guests with European mountain culture. Names and details throughout the building recall the founders' alpine homeland.

Visitors can rent gear on-site and book lessons for Nordic skiing, with trails groomed daily throughout winter months. During summer, the terrain offers hiking and mountain biking on the same paths that wind through forests and over ridges.

An on-site brewery produces several beers following Austrian recipes that guests can sample in the tasting room. During spring months, staff tap maple trees across the property to produce syrup in small batches.
