Overview
Nearby skiing: Alpine skiers staying at either inn head to Bromley (nine lifts, 43 trails and a vertical drop of 1,334 feet) a half hour away, and Stratton Mountain, 40 minutes away, with 16 lifts (including four high-speed, six-passenger lifts), 90 trails and a 2,003-foot drop. Cross-country skiers are usually found testing trails at Hildene (Robert Todd Lincoln's estate in Manchester) or Wild Wings in Peru. Those looking to tackle Robert Frost's \"road not taken\" make tracks to mountainous Merck Forest in Rupert, with 28 miles of ungroomed old logging roads. Unlike the fictitious [Dick Loudon], the very real [Maria von Trapp] was innkeeper of the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe. Von Trapp, matriarch of the family immortalized in \"The Sound of Music,\" came here in 1940, two years after escaping Hitler's Austria. Set your eyes on the surrounding mountains, and you will see why Maria chose this part of Vermont as her new home. Until her death in 1987, Maria was often seen greeting guests and signing her autobiography. Her son Johannes has taken over as company president. Nearby skiing: The Trapp Family Lodge maintains 55 kilometers of groomed and 45 additional ungroomed cross-country trails. The nearest alpine area is Stowe Mountain Resort, consisting of Mount Mansfield and Spruce Peak (11 lifts, 48 trails). You will find Nordic skiing at Edson Hill (40 kilometers of groomed trails), Mount Mansfield (35 groomed kilometers) and Topnotch (25 groomed kilometers).
