Trapp Family Lodge Outdoor Center

There's another great attraction here that I know will enjoy. No trip to Stowe is complete without a visit to the Von Trapp family Lodge. It's the second biggest reason after skiing that visitors come to the area. Situated on 2500 acres this Austrian mountain beauty is run by members of the original Von Trapp family that inspired the movie The Sound of Music.
