FP update 8/2 Stowe VT

Of course, we visited the Von Trapp Family Lodge. Amanda is a big Sound Of Music fan….her fav movie so this was a treat. The Lodge is set in a beautiful area outside Stowe. Background- when the Von Trapp family fled to Austria during WW2 they landed in Vermont where they purchased this mountaintop property. The theme is “A little Austria, A lot of Vermont”

Fun Vermont Factoid: Many Covered Bridges in Vermont …about 104 in the state which is the highest density of bridges. We visited a few of these cool 19th-century structures.

Since Vermont is known for Syrup, we visited the Nebraska Knoll Sugar Farm. A nice lady took the time to talk us through the “Sugaring” process. It begins with Taping the trees. It was a sweet experience

Finally, we decided to do the Stowe Auto Toll Road - a drive up an actual ski run. It is a zig/zag to the summit ridge of Mt. Mansfield along the historic Toll Road. We got a stunning view of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains. The Toll Road up is 4.5 miles of awe-inspiring natural beauty.Læs mere
