The progression of trails is perfect for first-timers or anyone looking to develop skills and confidence gradually and at their own pace.

In addition to the private trails, there are over 50 miles of trails within minutes of our resort for guests with a sense of adventure.

For the bird watching enthusiast, the Trapp Family Lodge is home to a variety of natural, and maintained, habitats ranging from Spruce and Fir dominated forests on Round Top above the famous Cabin to Kim Earley’s beautifully designed and manicured gardens. It is because of this great diversity and mix of manicured and wild vegetation that the Lodge and the surrounding property host an amazing diversity of bird life throughout the year.

Perhaps most unique and historically notable about the Trapp Family Lodge are the von Trapp History Tours. As Maria von Trapp once said, “Our life is like a beautiful story that happens to be true.”

The von Trapp family’s journey is a remarkable story. In 1938, just before World War II, the Baron and the Baroness von Trapp left all their possessions and estate near Salzburg. With nine children and one on the way, they fled Austria and were granted asylum in the US. Arriving with four dollars, they settled in Philadelphia and through their music, turned a family hobby into a profession as the Trapp Family Singers. They soon bought a small farmhouse in Stowe, Vermont, because the landscape reminded them of home. There the family lived peacefully, and continued to travel the world singing. They rented out rooms at their farmhouse to skiers and ran the Trapp Family Music Camp. Maria wrote an autobiography that inspired the play and movie, “The Sound of Music,” and her story became an American legend.

What was once a modest farm grew into a world-renowned resort, now overseen by Johannes, the youngest of the singing von Trapp children, and his family.
