 | A journey to Stowe inspires thoughts of mountain greenery dotted with white church spires, and a variety of bustling shops, restaurants and pubs along Mountain Road. This quintessential New England enclave also boasts three exquisite resorts offered by The Registry Collection® program. Just minutes from downtown Stowe, you might believe you are in the hills of Austria when you arrive at the Villas at Trapp Family Lodge. The Von Trapp family, who inspired the classic musical and movie "The Sound of Music," settled in these hills almost 60 years ago when they created, and still run today, this Austrian-style resort known for gracious hospitality, spectacular mountain views and world class cross country skiing. For downhill skiers, the newly expanded Stowe Mountain Village is anchored by one of the newest affiliates of The Registry Collection program, The Front Four at Stowe Mountain Lodge. Named for the four ski trails that have drawn top skiers since the 1930s, Front Four at Stowe Mountain Lodge might as easily be named for the four seasons of enjoyment awaiting you here. Fine dining, full service spa and members-only concierge lounge pamper you at every turn. Warmer weather seasons offer plenty of family friendly activities as well as gondola rides to a mountain top restaurant, hiking, and an on-site Bob Cupp 18-hole golf course. And just a short, picturesque ride away is Smuggler’s Notch, one of the greatest family ski destinations in North America. A choice of two mountains ensures unlimited winter excitement, as does a complete on-site family activity center with indoor pool, games, miniature golf, teen centers and more. Family hiking and fishing are year round activities, and an attentive staff is devoted to making your family vacation a memorable one. | |
